Are you cheerful or grumbling today?

Do you wake up each day dreading the day ahead?  Do you have an uneasy feeling of uncertainty that could possibly develop today?  I hope not.  God doesn't want this, nor should you.  


For us, as Christians, we know that we're living in God's purpose for our lives.  He works in all things, including our lives, according to His purposes.  Nothing in this life can happen without God ordaining it.


But, it's our choices and actions that also really matter.  God created each one of us uniquely and He does have a purpose for each of our lives.  Sure there will be difficult things you encounter, but overall we should have a sense of joy and excitement that fills our days.  This joy should be overflowing into our relationships, our work and families.


After all, what good does it benefit us to go around grumbling, down and just feeling sorry for ourselves?  It doesn't add one day to your life; so why not fill each day with joy, gratitude and a sense of pride in how we're living our lives out for God?


Take heart, my friends.  You know the saying "Not all who wander are lost?"  Seek God out.  Ask Him what your purpose is, here on earth.  You'll be surprised where you'll end up.  I hope it's with a joyful heart, giving God the glory, not ourselves.


Philippians 2:13 - "for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
