A Flat Tire
Someone once said, “A bad attitude is like a flat tire - you can’t go anywhere unless you change it.” Oh how true that is. Happiness is a choice. You can look at life’s challenges as a learning opportunity and stay positive or you can slump into the dumps feeling sorry for yourself and lamenting about how life just isn’t fair. But herein lies the danger: as long as you continue to swim in an ocean of self-pity, you will be immobilized and guess what? Your future will be no different than your past. Instead of concentrating on all that you “don’t have,” concentrate on what you “do have.” You never have to fear the storm no matter how fierce or turbulent because God is with you always. God sends the storm to show that He is the only shelter. The Bible says in Psalm 94:18, “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.” Thank God for the tough times for it is in your darkest hours that you lean on Him the most. Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray to God for a better umbrella. Text: Psalm 103:2, Psalm 68:19, James 1:2-4, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Bible Texts:
Psalm 103:2 NKJV - Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 

Psalm 68:19 NKJV - Blessed [be] the Lord, [Who] daily loads us [with benefits], The God of our salvation! Selah 

James 1:2-4 NKJV - My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have [its] perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV - in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
