Stay Positive #4 “I’m Enthusiastic”
We got to started looking at staying positive with Optimism! It’s easy to get optimism confused with enthusiasm! Enthusiasm means “in God”! Optimism is a frame of reference and Enthusiasm is a way of life. We can be optimistic without being enthusiastic but we can’t be enthusiastic without having an optimistic overflow! Enthusiasm flows from a relationship with Christ!
How to live Enthusiastically!
- TRUST God!
- Nehemiah 1:1-4; Nehemiah 2:1-9
- What makes us weep is often the exact thing God is calling us to make a difference in! When we trust God to go where we are called to go our fears fade and our boldness grows.
- WALK with God!
- Nehemiah 2:11-18
- When we walk with God it’s crazy how He allows us to be a light in the darkness. The darkness doesn’t make us afraid…it instead emboldens our vision is helps us to bring others alongside of us to accomplish things beyond us!
- WORSHIP God!
- Nehemiah 12:27-30
- When we trust God, walk with God it will ultimately lead to worship God! Our surrender in worship can lead to others seeing God for the first time!
