New venture

[brightfuture2172]

I recently joined the choir at church. I am pretty excited about this. They chose such lovely songs/hymns and the choir itself sounds so great every morning. I have wanted to join for months but talked myself out of it until this week!!

I sang today for the first time. The great thing is, it is like me being in the choir is almost like a testimony as I was very broken- hearted not that long ago but God has done some real healing work in me. Anyway, even as I was at practice this morning there were these thoughts in my head "your singing isn't good this morning. You're going to sound bad." That type of thing. I know full well it wasn't God. I sang anyway and did my best but those thoughts are still troublesome. Despite that, I am still excited about being in the choir. Maybe some of the joy is coming from the fact that I obeyed God's leading - even if I did take a little while to! Have any of you been able to silence the negative thoughts from the evil one?

 

[Tigger45]

Every time you have a negative thought neutralize it with positive thoughts. Make it a habit.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Reflect upon...
Psalm 100 (Amplified Bible)
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come before His presence with singing!

Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God!
It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]!

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise!
Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!

For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
