Accentuate The Positive

Luk 20:37-38 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Research on the subject of optimism is fascinating and does suggest that positive thinking can enhance health. As we wax old, health and living out our days in a positive condition is a priority. Nothing can give us more hope and wellness than a daily dose of God's Word and assurance. We have in this passage a declaration that only Jesus could proclaim with such authority. God is the God of all those that have adhered to Him. He does not disappear at the end of one's breath on earth. They go on to be in His Presence and He remains their God. There is no end to the life of the one who has loved and served Him. He remains evermore and so does that one that has put their trust in His promise of eternal life.

Enthusiasm adds significance to all you do. How thrilled we should be that Jesus came to proclaim Good News that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. We may not visualize or grasp this promise perfectly, but we can hold on to it as the best news that we have ever heard in our lives. God is the God of the living. In Christ you move, and live, and have your being. You will dwell and reign with God forever. As He does not cease, neither shall you. Because He lives, yet shall you live. Jesus has risen as He said He would as evidence that what He has promised is true.

Today we accentuate the positive and celebrate life in Christ, eternal life, and joy unspeakable for evermore. God is the God of the living. Celebrate that your life on earth will cease, but your spirit shall never come to an end. You are kept by our Lord who will never fail or forsake you. He is able to do as He has promised. He is your God. Rejoice that He has revealed Himself to you. Turn to someone today and tell them the Good News that we live unto God and God is the God of the living. In Him we achieve life, now and forevermore. Positively a priceless message.
