We all moan and groan and sigh and cry inside when we see and hear the evil, but we don’t have to focus on the negatives. Consider some of the Bible’s encouragement:
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (Psalm 100:4).
“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with what you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5).
And Philippians 4:8 tell us to focus on what is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy!
If we bring every thought into captivity to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), when negative and complaining thoughts come to our minds, we will kick them out. Then we will grow and have a better relationship with God.
