Psalm 89:15-16 15 Happy are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance; 16 they exult in your name all day long, and extol your righteousness.
Keeping a positive attitude is key to being successful in making changes to our lives. If we believe that we can be successful, we will look at hindrances as mere bumps in the road instead of road blocks. We will see failures as learning opportunities instead of reasons to quit.
When we walk with the Lord we have every reason to be not only positive, but even exuberant about life. God loves us. Jesus walks with us. The Spirit guides our steps. Our poor choices are met with forgiveness and steadfast love. We are given second, third, fourth chances, and many more.
We have no reason to fear. We can feel joy in the midst of the struggle. We know we are not forgotten or forsaken. We are not alone. God walks with us wherever we go and leads us on the path of righteousness, truth, and life.
O Lord, we are joyful in the knowledge that you love us. Help us walk in your love, praising your name. Amen.
