MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: FINDING MY HAPPY MOJO

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)

“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.!”

Devotional:

To find your mojo means to find that quality that attracts people to you; makes you successful and full of energy. In this devotion, happiness is our focus.

In previous devotionals, we mentioned the fact that sometimes unpleasant things still happen even when it seems we have done all things right.

It’s easier to bear challenges when we consider the fact that our own errors or those of others caused us distress; however, when there is no clear reason for the challenges or we are not in control of such outcomes, it can become daunting, especially if it’s continuous or it has caused a major shift in our lives.

It is understandable to become discouraged at such times but it is not the best response to such situations. We may not be able to choose the occurrences around us, but we can choose how we react. We can choose our attitude.

I like that the bible already gave us a blueprint on how to handle tough times..…GRATITUDE!! Choosing joy and peace. This is not because we are happy that bad things happen but because in a place of gratitude, joy and peace, we will be better equipped to make the right decisions to move forward. This will keep our happiness quotient up.

Life happens to everyone. In the bible, we were told David was running from Saul and writing Psalms about how he would rejoice and be glad.......hmmmmm

 Here are a few reflective questions:

• Can I recall how I reacted to unpleasant things that occurred in the last week/month?
• Knowing better now, how would I have responded?
• Can I always seek something to be thankful for in every unpleasant situation?

 Let us pray:

Dear God, I thank you that you are always with me. Help me to live in the consciousness of your love and be grateful and thankful everyday and for every situation. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

• I am here to make gratitude, my attitude.
• I have the joy of the Lord and I will express it today.
• I have the peace of the Lord and I will express it today.

Do have a happy day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow
