Don't Take The Bait!

by Kay Heitsch

Don't believe every thought that comes into your mind. Don't take the bait!

We all have problems of one sort or another. When we do sometimes thoughts come to our minds that say something like this, "You'll never get over this! You can't take this anymore!" The lists of negative thoughts go on and on. Don't take the bait!

Today's quote, "Problems are like washing machines, they twist us, spin us, and knock us around. But in the end we can come out cleaner, brighter, and better than before."

Many times we don't know why we have some problems. There's no point going to the self-pity party and taking the bait. That party will only bring us down more.

We can focus on putting our trust in the Lord. (See Proverbs 3:5) Knowing He can cause everything to work together for good. (see Romans 8:28) When we do this then we know that our problems can bring us out cleaner, brighter and better than before.
