Ecclesiastes 2:25-26

Every gift we have – the food we eat, the job we have, our home and the list goes on and on are all gifts from God. There is no joy or happiness apart from God.
God gives wisdom, knowledge and joy to those who please Him.

When is the last time you thanked God for your job? When is the last time you didn’t complain about finances? When was the last time you truly sat down and reflected over all God has done for you?
We are so quick to complain when things don’t go according to our plan. When everything works out for our good according to God’s plan and time. Our mouth and our words determine our atmosphere.
Take this week to practice being grateful. Thank God for His goodness. Speak what the word says about your situation.

I’m speaking to myself. Work has just been crazy and I have felt so unappreciated in so many different areas of life. I was getting a negative attitude. The Holy Spirit put me in check. I was reminded of Jesus and how He loved in-spite of the treatment. I had to realize I was ungrateful because of situations.

Allow God to help replace your negative attitude with a spirit of Joy and watch your outlook change and the atmosphere around you change.
