Positively

People comment to me frequently about how positive my posts here are. I even overheard one person say about me, "Doesn't this guy ever have a bad day?" 

There is such an advantage in getting older. Experience teaches much. While I love being positive I also know enough about electricity and life to know if you don't have a negative terminal you are going anywhere and you are in danger of burning up.

The negative is often called the ground. A number of the Ten Commandments are in the negative. We need this in our lives for balance, for power and to move. We read in the Proverbs,  Proverbs 25:16 If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit. 

I have watched for my life the proponents of a just positive message rise and fall and afterward there is nothing left. Be careful what you listen to and read. Stay grounded in the Word of God.

1 Peter 1:23-25 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For,“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the LORD endures forever.”And this is the word that was preached to you. 

The Daylilies back here are such an example of this. The words of Jesus come to mind as well.

Matthew 6:28-30 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
