Solution Oriented Attitude

Have you ever been counted out? Overlooked, or underestimated. I’ve been the underdog countless times and God has shown up miraculously many of those times. Here are a few things He’s taught me through them all.

You Are A New Creation. - Colossians 3:10

Colossians 3:10 KJV 1900

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

No matter what happens You can be ruled by peace - Colossians 3:15

Colossians 3:15 KJV 1900

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

You have a lot to be thankful for - Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Colossians 3:17 KJV 1900

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

People often talk from their own limitations.

If they say you can’t, remember most of today’s conveniences were yesterday’s impossibilities.
