Practicing Gratitude and Positive Psychology
Positive Christianity Series Episode # 81
"When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is established forever."- Proverbs 10: 25
We learn from Scripture about the importance of developing a positive objective mindset that allows us to have gratitude. This describes the manner that when we obey the commandments of Moses with sincerity of heart, we begin to grow in wisdom because we choose to repent of sin with sincerity of heart and accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We learn that persevering in obedience to the commandments of Moses helps us keep increasing in understanding, knowledge, wisdom, and counsel that prevents us from entering in the path of perdition in the practice of sin and vices. This speaks about the manner that humility, wisdom, and gratitude to GOD Almighty are very important in our day to day lives. When we have wisdom, we are able to understand that we can not practice idol worship, believe the temporary lies of temptations, nor be intimidated or discouraged because of persecution. We begin to understand the importance of humility realizing that we can begin to grow in wisdom when we begin to acknowledge the importance of meekness in the worship of GOD Almighty. We begin to realize that we are meant to worship the Creator of the universe and not creation. We begin to realize that there is so much to be grateful for even when there may be persecution, gangstalking, circumstances, or times.
"What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted."- Proverbs 10: 24
We realize that when we worship GOD Almighty, we are able to keep being grateful knowing that there is favor, blessings, and goodness that we receive because we choose to persevere with steadfast zealous faith. This speaks about not being discouraged and not having negative emotions that evil wants to cause. Instead we can have gratitude knowing that we can persevere because GOD Almighty cares about us and loves us. This describes the manner that only the worship of GOD Almighty is able to help us persevere and grow in virtues while at the same time having favor, blessings, health, and eternal salvation in accepting and confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We need to make sure that we have gratitude each day for the good things that we have because of the worship of GOD Almighty. This is going to prevent us from feeling discouraged or from paying attention to the attempts of evil to cause discouragement, anger, and envy. We know that we do not need to envy anyone and instead we are supposed to hate evil and sin. We are supposed to acknowledge that GOD Almighty cares about us and gives us distiction while at the same time caring about everyone that is righteous at the same time. There is the manner to have gratitude because of the uniqueness and distinction that we begin to have when we begin to develop virtues because we choose to worship GOD Almighty. We learn in Scripture about how even when there are righteous individuals that worship GOD Almighty, each individual is distinct and unique.
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him."- Psalm 28: 7
This describes the manner that GOD Almighty creates us to be distinct and unique while at the same time knowing that there is true equity, equality, and justice. This speaks about the manner that we can not believe the temporary lies of evil that want to tempt based on temporary pleasures into the practice of sin describing temptations based on lust that want to lead to fornication, adultery, and homosexuality and cause stagnation and difficulties. We can not believe the lies of evil that want to tempt with temporary material resources so that individuals practice idol worship instead of the true worship of GOD Almighty. We can not be tempted based on the illusion of power because we know that GOD Almighty is Maker and LORD of all. This describes the need to have gratitude to know the times that we are living in so that we do not get discouraged about specific things that we do not need in these times. Sometimes evil will attempt to tempt based on things that society says are needed, when we know that those things may not be needed if the intention is to lead to the practice of sin, vices, and idol worship. We are able to have gratitude that we have favor, blessings, and goodness in the worship of GOD Almighty, and if there are things that we do not have, it is because we do not need them if the intention is to lead to the practice of idol worship and the path of perdition.
"The path of the LORD is a stronghold to the pure, but destruction to evildoers."- Proverbs 10: 29
This is so that we are able to have gladness of heart and true joy when we worship GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth above everything instead of having bitterness and resentment in the practice of idol worship. We are able to know that only the worship of GOD Almighty helps us grow and mature while at the same time having renovation of youth. Only the worship of GOD Almighty allows us to improve in wisdom while having humility to have gratitude to GOD Almighty. The worship of GOD Almighty allows us to have true satisfaction and eternal meaning and purpose when we decide to accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, obey the commandments of Moses, and repent of sin. This allows us to know that the things of the world can not provide this. The things of the world can not help us improve in the manner that the worship of GOD Almighty helps us while allowing us to persevere in the path of eternal salvation without practicing sin and vices. We begin to understand that only GOD Almighty knows each individual even before they are born, before they say their first words, or take their first steps. Only GOD Almighty is able to understand us and help us persevere knowing that GOD Almighty cares about righteous individuals. GOD Almighty creates us with eternal meaning and purpose so that we can worship GOD Almighty for all eternity in the New Earth and the New Jerusalem.
