Spiritual Foundations

Decide What Kind of Day to Have

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.”
(Psalm 34:1, NLT)

Our expectation determines our experience.

We often leap to a conclusion about what things mean. For most people, the conclusion is often negative.

We are all too prone to base our expectation of today on what happened yesterday, or the past few months, or the past few years.

You may have had a rough day, week, month, or year. People in your life might be angry, negative, complainers, or even abusive.

The fact is: it doesn't matter what happened in the past – that does not determine your future! You get to decide what kind of day you're going to have.

Right now, you have the power to become the change you want to see in your life. Even if people are mean, bad things are happening all around you, and nothing may seem to be going your way.

Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect

Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect favor, blessings, and good success. Speak words of faith over your day, over your life and over your future.

Get a bigger vision of your life, expect your path to be illuminated and clear, and make room for God to do something amazing for you.

Pray This Way

“Father, I praise You at all times. I choose to see your hand in my life, sending me grace, favor, and mercy. Thank you that you make all things work together for my good. Amen!”
