This may be obvious but given the choice between being positive and negative, being positive is better. Think about how often we fall prey to having negative thoughts. Phil 1:20 states: According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. In this passage we see Paul choosing to be positive about his outlook, and positive about his future. So the next time you face a fork in the road, follow Paul’s example and watch God come through for you!
