Change your life in one easy step
Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Change your life in one easy step
Have you ever seen those hilarious commercials that promise you a changed life when you buy their product? This new blender will transform your life, or the latest version of the iPhone will change everything for you. Have you ever heard silly phrases like these that insult our intelligence and life values: “Oh, that pie is to die for!” or “I really need that purse…it’s to die for”? My immediate response is that a new blender will not change my life, and I won’t die for a piece of pie or a new leather bag.
I was recently reading quotes from famous thinkers in our society and stumbled upon one made famous by William James: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” As I read it, I paused in reflection. Is this true? Can one choice change the course of one’s life? Can a change in attitude alter career, family, and future? William James is considered to be America’s first psychologist and is respected as a pioneer in the study of human nature. In other words, he is a reliable expert on attitude and life.
John Maxwell has often said, “Your attitude will determine your altitude.” I believe this with my whole heart, but what does the Bible say? I searched for a few moments and found this scripture: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6, NKJV) Wow! That verse is so powerful. My grateful attitude can help get rid of anxiety.
Have you struggled with anxiety during this worldwide pandemonium? I have, but I’ve used my attitude of gratitude as a God-given means to help free me from anxiety. Will you try it today and watch what God will do for you?
Because you are a miracle, and God has got you firmly in His arms.
I’ve truly enjoyed your series on Gratitude. It’s helping me to stay focused in a difficult season. Thank you for your time and energy you put into encouraging others
Thank you.
Thanks brother! May blessings abound for all those who put their faith in Christ Jesus ✝️
“…I won’t die for a piece of pie or a new leather bag.”
I guess that’s where you and I differ.
I would.
Good Morning Mr Goulet
I must thank you for taking the time to create your daily messages. They are more than necessary. In a world that seems to overflow with selfishness, hate and anger, I wake up to your kind words that overflow with God’s Grace and Mercy.
Thank you Dear Sir, For all that you do!!!
Amen, we can make a difference, with God on our side, who against us, blessings my friend.
I thank God that you have committed to doing these daily devotions. I also really appreciate that you record the audio for them. Almost four years ago I was in a terrible car wreck that nearly killed me but also left me with a Traumatic Brain Injury. This TBI has made retaining information difficult for me but if I can read and hear something I can remember so much better. Thank you!
“Because you are a miracle, and God has got you firmly in His arms.”
I love what you said above, Pastor Goulet!!! May our Lord bless and protect you always, as you are certainly doing God’s work, and have helped me tremendously!!!
