Streams Of Joy Daily Devotional - Strengthen Your Positives

STRENGTHEN YOUR POSITIVES

“Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”
(Matthew 15: 28)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Before the woman of Tyre and Sidon got her miracle, Jesus made mention of her great faith. This woman was a Gentile, she was from an ungodly nation, her environment was a pagan environment, even Jesus Himself classified her among the ‘dogs’, but in the end, the same Jesus acknowledged her great faith.

Between being called a dog and getting her miracle, there was great faith. Despite the negativity she was associated with, she had a positive attribute of faith. Despite what didn’t work, there was something in her that worked; the positive thing in her was the connection that brought her miracle.
Friend, God says, build your positives. Increase in your areas of strength; despite what is not working around you, make sure there is something in you that works; despite the negatives in your environment, grow the positives in you. Build up your skills, abilities, work ethics, discipline, commitment, dedication, prayer life, consecration, devotion, etc. Let your positives eclipse the negatives.

Your next level is a function of what is working in your life. What matters most is what is working. What matters most is not your excuses but your results; what matters most is not your setbacks but your comebacks; what matters most is not your misfortunes but the giant strides that eventually followed.

No matter what is not working, ensure that something is working. Even if only one thing in your life is working, it’s an open door for divine intervention. If there is something left, there is something God can bless.

Isaiah 35: 3 says: “Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.”

Pray With Me: Lord, help me to build up the positives in me, in Jesus’ name!
