What is Wrong with this world?
How many times have you caught yourself thinking or saying that? Goodness knows, there is enough wrong with the world to keep you focused from here to eternity: Government, earthquakes, job loss, weight loss, etc - and that is just from the last few hours!
It is easy to find what is wrong. It is even natural to do so ... but it is helpful? Is it even healthy?
It is understandable to find something wrong and then work to fix it. There are things we can exercise some control of, but most of the stuff on fixates on are things one has no - or very little control of. And then it seeps in ... sticks in you ... effects you ... and you wonder why you are irritable, grouchy, and have no peace.
So lets try something different this week. Rather than noticing what is WRONG with the world, look for - seek - search for what is RIGHT with the world! And when you find it - point it out to someone else!
By doing this, you not only NUDGE yourself, but you NUDGE those around you - if only for an instance - to notice something that is RIGHT with the world. By the way - the more one does this - the more peace they will have in their heart. And the more we help others do this - the more peace we can spread around our little worlds.
So - FIND SOMETHING RIGHT at least one time a day this week and point it out or share your story this week. Post your findings here online - share it with us. Encourage us with your stories!
Let's NUDGE the FACEBOOK WORLD!
Finally, look for something true, something noble, something right, something pure or lovely. Search for something - anything that is excellent or praiseworthy - and then turn your focus on those things. Philippians 4:8 para
No doubt the earthquake in Haiti is a tragedy....BUT; for years missionaries have been serving in this area, converting many to Christianity. The support and service of people witnessing to this area has resulted in many souls being saved.
ReplyDeleteSo for me, what is right with the world is that many before us gave of themselves so that the truth would be known in this part of the world.
