"WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING." (JN 15:5 NKJV)
How To Have A Good Day
You can change the course of a day Satan has negative plans for by spending time with the Lord, especially when you sense any attitude or behavior in yourself that's not Christ-like. Jesus said, "Without Me you can do nothing." On the other hand, through Him we can do all things (See Php 4:13). Negative feelings are like unwelcome house guests: the worst thing you can do is to invite them in. You may not be able to override them in your own strength, but if you seek God's help He will enable you to walk according to His ways, not by your negative emotions and perspectives. "But what if someone offends me?" The Bible says we're not to be oversensitive or easily offended. Actually we are commanded to forgive those who hurt us, not letting things fester. Sometimes we want to forgive and do what's right, but we find doing it difficult. More often than not, the right thing is the hard thing to do, not the easy thing. That's when you need to pray and allow God to talk to you through His Word. Only then will you find the strength to do the right thing.
Remember, you're in a war, and the battle begins the moment your eyes open each morning. To win, you must know how to use the weapons God has placed at your disposal. And you must put on your armor before the battle begins (See Eph 6:10-20). Your greatest weapons are prayer, praise, reading God's Word, and Christian fellowship. If you want to have a good day, learn to use them.
