Choices

My circumstances are difficult. I didn't choose them, but I have a choice in how I respond to them. I can let the circumstances get the best of me and choose to let depression and bitterness grow or I can choose today to believe that I am not alone. I can choose to believe that God is in control.  I can choose to believe that He will never leave me or forsake me, and He will supply all of my needs.

I can choose to meditate on Philippians 4:8:9:

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
