Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. <\/em>(Hebrews 11:1, NIV)<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the expression, \u201cNever underestimate the power of perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, I just ordered a wall plaque with that exact saying for my office so I\u2019ll constantly be reminded of that truth.<\/p>\n

Having positive thoughts is so important. Truly, it can change the whole atmosphere. I was recently reminded of that truth during my bible study time as I read the story of the prophet Elisha found in Second Kings, Chapter 6.<\/p>\n

Do you remember the story of Elisha and his servant when they were being attacked by King Aram\u2019s army? King Aram was very angry with Elisha because Elisha was always spoiling his plans to destroy Israel. Every time King Aram and his troops would plan an attack against the Israelites, Elisha would warn the King of Israel. Finally, King Aram could stand it no more, so he sent his army to kill Elisha.<\/p>\n

That night, King Aram\u2019s army surrounded the city where Elisha and his servant were sleeping. When they awoke the next morning, the situation appeared grim. Elisha\u2019s servant panicked, saying, \u201cOh, my lord, what shall we do?\u201d Elisha didn\u2019t panic. Instead, he prayed, \u201cO Lord, open his eyes so he may see.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment, the Lord opened the servant\u2019s eyes, and he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire, totally surrounding and protecting them. Suddenly, King Aram\u2019s army didn\u2019t seem quite so threatening.<\/p>\n

You might say the servant got a new perspective. He went from total panic to \u201cbring it on!\u201d Once he saw that God had their backs, he was no longer fearful.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what we all need\u2014healthy, positive thoughts. Why not ask God to help you see every situation through His eyes. Ask Him to help you see your world differently, so that you can face every challenge with a positive attitude. If you\u2019ll walk in faith, not fear, you\u2019ll enjoy every day so much more and face every obstacle with a \u201cbring it on\u201d attitude.<\/p>\n

Pray this with me:<\/p>\n

Father, thank You for loving me and for always having my back. Help me, Lord, to walk in faith, not fear, and to have a positive attitude no matter what is going on around me. I trust You, Lord. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
