WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH=CONTINUE TO STAY POSITIVE

WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH=
CONTINUE TO STAY POSITIVE


The WORLD can be a TOUGH
PLACE=and we all get
TOUGH TIMES at one time
Or another


When those times COME
Upon you=continue to LIVE
WITH HOPE=try not to GRUMBLE-
Try NOT to give up


TRY TO LIVE POSITIVELY!


“The WHOLE Israelite community
GRUMBLED against Moses and Aaron” Exodus 16:2


The people of
The EXODUS JOURNEY
Ignored the provisions and PROVIDENCE
That God continued to provide


They GRUMBLED=they pressured their leaders
To BEG for what they wanted


How do we BEHAVE
When our lives


Are not going
Like what we want?


Do we STAY POSITIVE?
Do we LIVE WITH GRATITUDE
Or do we grumble
And get NEGATIVE
When OUR times get tough?


TRY to stay positive
Try to SHOW GRATITUDE
For what you do have


“........And be THANKFUL=
LET the message of CHRIST
Dwell among you richly


As you teach and admonish
ONE ANOTHER=with all wisdom
Through psalms=hymns=and songs
From the SPIRIT


Singing to God
With GRATITUDE
In your hearts” Colossians 3:15-16


LIKE the people of
Moses and Aaron=we PINE
For what we don't have
When it is missing


WHEN life doesn't go as planned
Or when things
Get extremely TOUGH


We grumble and complain
About how terrible
Our LIFE has become


It is then=when we
Need to REFUSE to give up
On our dreams=stop complaining
And LIVE WITH GRATITUDE


Stay positive=KEEP BELIEVING!=
And KEEP your faith in God


He will answer you POSITIVELY=
KEEP THE FAITH!


“If you do
NOT STAND firm
In your FAITH


You will not
Stand at all” Isaiah 7:9


“BY FAITH
In the name of Jesus


This man
Whom you see and know
Was made strong


It is JESUS' name
And the FAITH
That comes through him


That has
COMPLETELY healed him
As you can ALL SEE” Acts 3:15-16


We need to LET GO
Of the grumbling and negativity
In life


And REMEMBER
How Jesus has
CHANGED our lives
In the past


So that when times
Are TOUGH=keep the FAITH
And STAY POSITIVE


It is ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
For a MIRACLE in your life


In the names of Jesus=
And HIS DIVINE FATHER OF LIGHT!
