Your thoughts and actions each day would have a larger influence on your life. Don’t limit yourself to self-help books, inspirational messages, podcasts, or whatsoever; oftentimes feed your brain with verses about positivity.
There is nothing beautiful than being real in everything you do. If you keep a clean mind and a clean heart towards your thoughts and actions, you receive a lot of blessings from the Lord. You may find a number of inspirational messages, podcasts, videos, etc, to maintain a positive mindset but I believe without getting to know about some of these Bible verses about being positive —then you are missing something essential in your life. Because the Bible is full of wisdom, advice, life lessons, and spiritual truths everyone needs. It will be refreshing to your soul.
In this post, I have made a collection of Bible verses about being positive in life; irrespective of your circumstances. Surrender all to Christ Jesus.
You can’t always expect the message of positivity from the motivational speaker, life coach, psychologist, or career coach; The Bible does its best to make you think positively and handle life with a clear conscience.
You may take a detour to a related article with a list of positive quotes that can also instill the power of positivity in you.
I believe most of you have heard of this saying:
“as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
The King used that to inspire people to value wisdom and increase in faith. So I do want anyone reading this post to know how to apply faith to everything he desires from God. With patience and wisdom, you can unearth God’s amazing plans for your entire life.
In his self-help book(As A Man Thinketh – 1903), James Allen made a publication about the power of thought and how it could result in a happy life. Allen got his inspiration from Proverbs 23:7:
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with there” (Proverbs 23:7).
It is a part of a collection of 30 wise sayings from King Solomon. It is referred to as “the sayings of the wise.”
Solomon was talking about a stingy person who invites someone for dinner and cries within himself about the cost he has to pay.
Such a negative person doesn’t deserve your time or attention. Being real about your benevolence, thoughts and actions bring many blessings from the Lord. On the other hand being a negative person about your thoughts, kindness, etc, would yield no blessings.
