"Do all things without complaining and faultfinding." Phil. 2:14

"Is the glass half full, or half empty?" I hate that question. I always say it depends on what is in the glass. But that is not the point of the question. It has to do with being negative or positive. What do you do when you find yourself around negative people? A friend of mine who I will call Rev.P. says, "Graciously ignore them." When it comes to other people's negativism, it is best to do this, graciously ignore it. Remember that criticism, complaining and bitterness are contagious. Don't allow others to poison your mind. Don't try to reason with angry people. Their anger insulates them from reason. Ask God to make you an encourager of others, to give them confidence to pursue their dreams. Ask God to give you confidence in the future because of your Father's love. When at times you are around people with a poisoned soul, be gracious, but remember, ignore their words of bitterness.

This week’s question: What did Daniel correctly prophesy that Nebuchadnezzar would one day eat?
