Tricia McNair: Noble Life Ministries

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 4  Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5  God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Ephesians 1:3-5 (NLT) We live in a global world that has many social media outlets to voice your opinions. You can show your life to billions of people and make your life more glamorous than it really is. Most people are doing this so they can be loved, accepted, envied or admired. Unfortunately, this can lead to you allowing others to determine your worth and who you should be. This phenomenon is causing a greater number of people to suffer from depression, low self-esteem and the worst financial crisis in their life. The young and old alike. 

A s an engineer the first rule I learned in writing my computer program was GIGO (Garbage In - Garbage Out).  Your output is going to be garbage because you wrote garbage. Our thought life is the same; fill your mind with garbage and garbage will be manifested in your life. How you survive these trying times will depend on what you fill your heart and mind with. If you focus on the negative and what the Enemy is doing or has done all the time you are actually filling your mind with the work of the Enemy. If you turn it around and think about what God is doing you will fill your mind with the goodness of God. Whichever one you do the most of will be what comes out of you.  We also have a responsibility to understand that God will not bless the garbage in our life. It is illogical to think that you can live anyway you want and then ask God to bless your mess. Only way to survive is to live according to His commandments. Jesus said, " If you love me you will keep my commandments.
