Every day I start my day with a daily reading and reading a chapter of the Bible. I like to start my day with the Word of God. I randomly choose the book that I am going read from when I finish the previous one. I have been thinking lately that come January 1 I will read the Bible in a year again. That means I will read more than one chapter a day. I will share what I read through instagram and twitter.
For my daily reading I alternate between reading from Jesus Calling and reading from Starting your Day Right by Joyce Meyers. Today I read from Starting your Day Right. I am just going to quote it word for word:
Speak Positively
Focus on speaking words in faith today; keep your confession truthful but positive. Don't deny the existence of your circumstances, but confess what God's Word has to say about your situation.
For example, if you are sneezing, coughing, and finding it difficult to breathe, it isn't truthful to say you aren't sick. But you can learn to present a negative situation in a positive way. You can say, "I believe God's healing power is working in me, and that I am getting better all the time."
This couldn't have been better timing. I am struggling with a few things right now. In general I am a positive person, but it's been difficult to put on a happy face the past few days. I have been in a funk.
Last night I found out that I am in a pickle. My stomach dropped when I learned. I immediately wanted to throw up. My stomach was very upset all night. So I had this physical reaction, but I also heard God speaking to me. He is with me. He has a plan. It's hard to get too stressed out when you know God is working in your life.
I am stressed. My plan is being upset, but God is working in me and I have to honor that. So right now I am in a temporary situation. I have to have faith that He will lead me where I need to be.

Behold, You desire truth int he inner being, make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.
