Accentuate the Positive
I don’t remember what came up in conversation the other day but I was thinking about how easy it is to focus on the negative instead of seeing the blessings around us. This brought to mind the old song, “Accentuate the Positive.” Although not a gospel song, we can learn a lot from it. You’ve heard the saying, “There are two sides to every story.” This is also true with life. There are good things and bad things that happen in a day’s time. We can focus on the negative or we can realize that God works everything for good and strive to find that good so we can praise Him in the midst of our circumstances.
I’m one of those who has fallen into seeing the negative more than the positive lately but I don’t want to dishonor my God. When I think about it, I truly am blessed. I need to be faithful to proclaim His goodness to everyone I see. With Thanksgiving less than a week away, what a great time to start accentuating the positive. Won’t you join me?
