Last time I posted on developing Spiritual Basics. Today I am posting on
Positive
Power Consider it
pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know
that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish
its work so that you may be mature not lacking anything. James 1:2-3
My definition of Stinking Thinking is simple: "Any habitual thinking patterns that do not follow this passage. The tendency of some people is to face trials with sadness and pessimism instead of joy. Joy comes from a solid relationship with God's Spirit. It is not just happiness but it can include being happy.
Stinking Thinking destroys both happiness and joy. It tends to take Adversities as personal attacks by God. Those who confuse God's love with a life free of challenges are likely to feel awful when an adversity arises because the conclude that Giddy is mad at them.
When we trust God we face adversities with joy because we know the love and grace of Hod will take us through the valleys of life. Adversity teaches us perseverance. When we gain perseverance we can be certain maturity is on its way.
Read one of my books and grow in grace and joy.
