“Let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” This is what Jesus told us near the end of the sermon on the mount. He just finished saying that when we give we shouldn’t let our left hand know what our right hand is doing. When we pray we do it secret, not on the corner so people can see us. Fasting should be done, but don’t make it look like you're fasting.

Does anyone else scratch your head at what He said about doing good works so people may see them?

Motivations matter, I get that. My motivates make the difference in how I respond emotionally to what I do or don’t do. I can’t do it for the dough or for the show or do it worry or the hurry. I get that from the sermon on the mount. But I know it’s so easy to do good works and fool myself to thinking it’s not so I get noticed and praised by others.

I guess that’s why the crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,  but people are tested by being praised. (Proverbs 27:21),

When I get praised by others for the good works that they see, self-deflection doesn’t shine back on God. “No, it’s not that good.” The metaphor is I’m like the moon that reflects the to the side of the world that away from the sun. When I self-deflect it’s like a solar eclipse when the moon gets in between the sun and side of the world that facing the sun. Any light the moon reflects back to the sun is negligible and unnoticeable.

Maybe I shouldn’t do good works?

When I make excuses to not do good works it’s like a lunar eclipse where the world gets in between moon and the sun so the moon can’t reflect to sun’s light to the side of the world that’s away from the sun. We are created to shine the light of the sun to side of the world that’s away from the sun.

So what’s the solution?

There is time when the moon is the perfect position to reflect the most light to the side of world that’s away from the sun. In the northern hemisphere it’s in the autumn. It’s a full moon and even sometimes it’s the closest it will be to us in the month and we’ll call it a super moon. More commonly it’s just known as the harvest moon.

When people see us, they see the light of Christ. We can’t hide it. We can’t get in the way of it. Just being the you God create you to be makes a noticeable difference in your every day world. May you be encourage in this Negativity Fast Reflection - My Light Shines Bright.

Negativity Fast Reflection - Day 42 - I Build Myself Up

Today's Negativity Fast Reflection. Join the quest for positivity as you learn to build yourself up in this reflection.

When I was in seminary, I often told pentecostal jokes. I figured it was the group I grew up in, so we’re the only ones I should probably poke fun at. Apparently some people didn’t’ know that about me.

One day I came back into the class with a fresh cup of coffee before the break was over. There was a group in the back corner and I went to see what was going on. One of the guys turned to me and said, “Can you believe these guys still think tongues is still a gift for today?”

“Hey me too!” I laughed, “I pray them every day!” Then I challenged, “How do you strengthen yourself in the Lord?” He didn’t have an answer and turned to leave.

I don’t know if I ever talked to that guy again.

But it’s a good question.

How do you strengthen yourself in the Lord?

Praying in the Holy Spirit is how Jude tells us to do it. Paul told the church in Corinth to excel in gifts that build up each other, and tongues is a gift that builds up yourself. He wished that could all speak in tongues so they could build themselves up. (Although he’d rather they’d all prophecy so they could build up the gathered church).

May you be encouraged to pray in the Spirit with this Negativity Fast Reflection - I Build Myself Up

Read the Negativity Fast Reflection - I Build Myself Up

I build myself up in the most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. I don’t know what I say, but Holy Spirit prays through me. As I pray, though my mind is unfruitful, I build myself up. I think about what is good and right and honourable and worthy of praise. I pray in faith knowing the Spirit helps me in my weakness.

Have I prayed in the Spirit lately?

Negativity Fast Reflection - Day 41 - I Ask For Wisdom And I Get Wisdom

Today's Negativity Fast Reflection. Explore the journey of seeking and receiving wisdom as a tool to transcend negativity in this insightful reflection.

If there is a prayer I can always pray with confidence-because I know the will of God and I know when I pray according to His will I will have what I ask of Him-it’s the prayer for wisdom.

I so enjoying praying for people who are asking God for wisdom. I tell them after “now don’t be afraid to move on the wisdom that comes to you” And I remind them that wisdom that is from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favouritism and is always sincere.

It’s a prayer I pray in faith because it’s a prayer God has so consistently answered for me. Wisdom doesn’t show the staircase, it often simply shows the next step. Faith gets us to take that next step. Wisdom is proven true by its action. Wisdom is not static but dynamic, guiding believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling.

Of course when we ask for wisdom He gives it generously without finding fault. It’s His will for us to have wisdom. Jesus is the wisdom of God. Be inspired with the Negativity Fast Reflection - I Ask For Wisdom And I Get Wisdom.

Negativity Fast Reflection - Day 40 - I Choose To Praise

Today's Negativity Fast Reflection. Delve into the power of praise as a choice to rise above negativity in this inspiring personal reflection.

Praising God is another thing we are told to do with our whole heart. (See http://revtrev.link/heart) Remember, the Hebrew understanding of heart was that it’s the seat of our decision and our emotions and our actions.

It’s a choice to praise God before the answer comes, in that dark of the night and in the middle of the storm. We feel joy when we praise Him. God inhabits the praise of His people and in His presence is fullness of joy. And our actions to praise can include singing, playing instruments, praying, dancing, testifying His good deeds, gratitude, living righteously, offering sacrifices, meditating, kneeling or bowing down, shouting or crying out, and living a life of obedience.

It’s natural and unstoppable to praise God when the answer comes, the storms clears or the night turns to dawn. When are hearts are set on Him, praise naturally erupts at those times. Before those times it’s a choice and that choice can be toxic if we don’t align our whole heart.

You’ve felt that right? You’ve sang the songs when they were meaningful and powerful and you’ve sang the same songs when they sounded hollow and just didn’t feel true. The difference is praising God with your whole heart. When you praise God with a decision, your emotion and an action, it’s alive and full of meaning. If you sing because you’re there and maybe because people are watching you, it feels like something else entirely. It actually feels a bit toxic.

So check out Negativity Fast Reflection - I Choose To Praise and exchange your spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise when you praise Him with your heart.

Read the Negativity Fast Reflection - I Choose To Praise

I choose to praise him before the battle starts. I praise him before my answer comes. I praise him in the middle of the storm. I praise him because he is worthy of praise. I praise him because it changes me. I am never impressed with the size of my problem when I’m impressed with the glory of my God.

Have I chosen to praise him lately?

Negativity Fast Reflection - Day 39 - I Remember To Remember

Today's Negativity Fast Reflection: Uncover the impact and combat negativity through remembering the good things God has done.

The importance of testimony cannot be overstated. We can remember bad things, focus on bad things, and see more bad things as an inevitable part of our miserable existence. Or, we can remember the good things and focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and be overwhelmed by the goodness of God.

The choice is ours.

The Holy Spirit empowers us to accomplish every good work prompted by faith. Remembering God's good works both is and leads to good works prompted by faith.

The saints overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. When we talk about the good things of God with gratitude, we invite Him to do it again.

If He did it for you, He can do it for me. Since He did it for me, He will do it for you. May this Negativity Fast Reflection - "I Remember to Remember" encourage you to remember the good things of God.

I remember to remember to the good things God has done. I remember his encouragement, his strengthening and his miracles. I remember I have been through the waters and he has been with me. I have passed through the rivers and I have not been drowned. I have walked through the fire, and not be burned, the flames did not set me ablaze. He has been so good to me.

What’s something God entrusted to me that I haven’t thought about lately?

Before the mighty men of David were the might men of David, the excitement of their return to Ziklag quickly became a time of mourning. They lost their homes, their live stock, their possessions and their families. Each man was bitter and they talked about stoning David who had led them into the this mess.

And the Bible says, “But David strengthened himself in the Lord.” How do you do that? I’ve found we can strengthen ourselves with praise and joy; the Word; waiting expectantly on the Lord and praying in the Spirit. Read more at >>> http://revtrev.com/live-hopeful/strengthen-yourself-in-the-lord/

I strengthen myself with the Word. I have hidden His word in my heart so I might sin against him. His word is life. His word is hope. He cleanses me with His word. It is living and active and sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword and cuts between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes my innermost thoughts and desires. I let His word read me.

Have I been letting his word read me lately?
