BLESS YOUR CITY
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 11:11
Some people are negative, when something
bad happens they talk about it and spread it, and then they wait for next bad
thing to happen and they spread that also. What they don’t realise is that what
you focus on grows. What you constantly think about and talk about grows.
If you constantly talk about bad things,
more bad things will continue to happen so that you can continue to talk about
them. Conversely, when you constantly talk about good things, more good things
will continue to happen so that you can continue to talk about them.
Do you want to constantly talk about the goodness
of God or the bad things that the enemy is doing? Do you want to praise and
bless the Lord or do you want to murmur and complain? Isaiah knew where to
focus his attention.
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the
LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed
on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has bestowed
on them according to His mercies, according to the multitude of His
lovingkindnesses.
Isaiah 63:7
Focus on the good things that are happening
in your life and in the lives of others and constantly talk about them. Speak
good things about your city and pray for it. Remember as a child of God, you
are the one with the authority. So, bless your city and set your attention on
the right things.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are
true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are
pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there
is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Thought of the day: By the blessing of the upright the city is
exalted.
Prayer: Pray for your city and bless your
city.
