Tuesday 3/01 Bible Study: Staying Positive

Ashley Bailey lead our Tuesday Bible Study and spoke about the importance of being positive and what this means in our walk with God. We talked about verse from Ephesians and 1 Thessalonians. The sisters and candidates talked about why it is important to stay positive as a Christian. Some of the reasons discuss included the importance of using this attitude to stand out from the crowd and tell people about Jesus. Another was that simple put, we are told to "rejoice!" and know that God has got everything under control. Knowing that we are in His will can and will bring us so much satisfaction, joy and positivity. Some of the things we do to keep ourselves positive include maintianing that personal quiet time. Setting aside, making time, for God and prayer. Prayer is a very powerful tool as well because it allows us to consider our problems, give them to God and not stress over them any longer. Finally, sisters also talked about the importance of positive music and influences in your environment. One sister commented on what a difference listening to only Christian radio has made for her drive to school every morning. The same sister also talked about how if she is feeling discouraged that she texts or calls someone she hasn't spoken to in a while. The excitement of the person about hearing from you is usually a great way to lift the spirit. We also discussed having Bible verses, sayings and pictures posted around the room that mean something to you. If you have a favorite verse, write it on your hand on a bad day or post it on your mirror. Just find ways to try to enfuse the love and joy of Christ in as much of your day as possible.

Finally, be still and know that He is God and that He loves you enough to give His son for you!
