Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
‘You are the salt of the earth…’ Matthew 5:13 NIV
Today’s Insight
Positivity isn’t very funny. Not much in the world
of entertainment comedy gets laughs from being relentlessly cheerful. Our
‘cool’ humor often borders on sarcastic, with negativity breeding negativity.
But sarcasm is easy – if
you want to be cynical, our fallen world is your oyster. Being grounded and
cheerful isn’t. But it’s definitely worth it.
What’s your attitude to
life? Do your conversations and jokes build people up or feed on moaning? Are
negative people really the sort you want to be around? Think: how much better
is it to be around that rare person who makes you feel better about life?
They’re so positive and they leave you walking away feeling just the same about
life. It’s catchy.
Jesus said, ‘You are the
light of the world’ (Matthew 5:14 NIV).
That means you should be different. Has it occurred to you that the positive
person you like to be around could be you? Being refreshingly different is
always good – people welcome it. There’s so much more to life than our bitter,
wise-cracking culture has told us – but only when it starts and ends in Jesus.
Application: If you find you’re tending to feel more cynical
than usual, have a look at your daily habits – who are you mixing with; is the
stuff you’re watching on TV and the internet doing you any good?
Parallel verses: Joel 2:12-13, Matt 4:1-17, Mark 2:18-22, Luke 9:23-26
