Motivation Monday| Change Your Perspective

Optimism: To have the most hope for any situation Or The belief that good ultimately predominates over evil in the world. The difference between optimism and pessimism is simply your perspective. How do you see things? Have you ever wondered why you see things the way you see them? God said to the Israelites that he was giving them the land of Canaan. He sent twelve men out to explore the land and there they found a land flowing with milk and honey, and the people that lived there were powerful. Some even describe them as giants. The Israelites began to fear the land. But, God made it clear that the land already belonged to them. Claim the ground that is placed in front of you. Change the way you look at your situation. No matter how intimidated they may be they have to trust in what The Lord tells them. Second guessing his word would do them no good. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and this was a key moment for them to practice this. Work hard to claim your victory. Sacrifice and Stand strong in your obstacles remeber what you have already been told! Lean on the promise. Learn how to wait and never loose heart on yourdesires! It took the Isralites 40 years to take over the land that God had given them long ago. How long with it be for you to take hold of your promise? Dont let it be 40 years! Take risk and change the way you look at things and receieve the gifts and pomise.
