The Pool Near The Sheep Gate
Have you ever awoken to a day focusing on negative circumstances?
Have you ever awoken to a day focusing on positive circumstances?
A Divine Encounter with God can happen when we least expect it. The man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5 had no idea he was going to encounter Jesus when he woke up that day. He didn't even recognize who Jesus was, but Jesus chose to heal him from his current condition.
John 5:5-6 - One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
The man responded that he had no one to help him into the water. Jesus told him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."
It's not that Jesus wasn't concerned about the man's negative circumstance of not having anyone to help him into the water, but He chose to put into the man's life a positive circumstance that day and healed him from his inability to walk.
What are you focusing on today? Set your mind on positive things and remember the blessings God has placed in your life. If you woke up with a negative mindset, be sure to finish it with a positive mindset.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
