Are Responses Really Truth?

What a winter!  Along with the frigid weather, we have had beautiful, sunny skies, moments of snow globes and a lot of opportunities to take notice of our  responses to all of them. I must admit, my response the sunny skies out my window have been nicer than my other grumbling responses.  God is working in many areas of my responses not just responding with food.  He is faithful when we truly come to Him with our hearts and hands wide open for His help. The term we learned this week is "unworkable beliefs". Thin Within tells us that, "Unworkable beliefs can be very powerful. They may, however, be so subtle that we accept them as facts rather than recognizing them as false beliefs or lies."   As we contemplate each of these beliefs and now are more aware of our responses to all situations, we can ask ourselves if there is any contradictions to God's truth in our responses. Think about it! Even when we say, "This winter is going to last forever!!" This is contrary to God's Word that promises a seedtime and harvest! (Gen. 8:22) So, remembering this truth, we can take heart and continue on instead of curling up in a blanket with yet another cup of sugar-laden hot cocoa and a cookie! (Or whatever your response to cabin fever is!) So, with that note, have a blessed week and pre-plan your response to this bitter cold and take note of the beautiful sunshine, blue skies and God's promise of Spring! Blessings!
