Everyday we are presented with choices. When we wake up in the morning we have a choice. We can choose to to focus on the past disappointments, the past failures, the negative words, the problems that the day may appear to have ahead. All the cares and worries that we so naturally think about.

OR we can focus on being grateful, thankful for the things that God has blessed us with. The air in our lungs, the friends and family we have. The nature we can visibly see around us, the gift of life.

THEN we choose to praise God for all that he has done. The fact that we are alive for His purposes today. The fact that yet we were far away from God, He sent his Son to die for us. Praise God for His love that surrounds us and the promises he has over our lives. He will NEVER leave us or forsake us.

What are you choosing to focus on today?
