Moving Out

Look forward. Discouragement, resentment, guilt, and depression are emotions connected with looking at the past–what you are coming from.

Where have you pitched your tent today? In other words, what are you expecting to happen in your life this year? What kind of attitude do you have? If your thoughts are stuck and you’re focusing on what’s wrong or what’s not working, then it’s time to dig up your tent stakes! It’s time to pack up your belongings and move out of the land of discouragement. It’s time to move out of the “Not-going-to-happen.” It’s time to pack your bags and move into the land of hope, faith and expectation! Every time you catch a negative thought and choose to dwell on God’s promises, it’s like you are packing your bags. Every time you declare God’s faithfulness, you are taking a step in the right direction. The Bible says that those who hope in the Lord will never be put to shame. As you turn your focus toward your process, you are pitching your tent in the Land of Hope — a land where His peace, blessing and victory are all staying. Where are you living today?
