Set Your Day

Today's Scripture:
"Set your minds and keep them set on what is above, not on the things that are on the earth"

This reminds us to be optimistic on our everyday doings. No matter how we feel, no matter what the economy looks like, no matter what situation surrounds us, we need to be proactive. Let us not allow the negative forces to ruin our life but instead focus on what is in store on us on this day.
