My life is made up of positives and negatives and my outlook fluctuates according to which of those two I concentrate on. For example: gratitude for my job, or frustration I don’t have more time off? That is a mild comparison. What if you are battling a serious illness, or you are in financial distress or there are relationship struggles? Do I have the ability to focus on which end of the spectrum I choose to? Is there even any good in my situation? Yes, because underlying those questions is this fact, God is good. Even if I cannot understand why I’m in this place, He is still good. Why? Why is He good while we are in the midst of it? Because He is right there with you.”I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Heb 13:5b In order to see the good, you have to believe the good. And over all of this is His ultimate goodness which is his promise to return and rescue us from this place. 1Thess 4:13-18 If you believe and follow Him, this earth is not your final resting place. He’s coming back to get you and that is why He is good. That truth gives me reason to give thanks and can recallibrate my perspective despite my circumstances. “the Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.” 2Tim 4:18 That was Positive Paul.
