Notice that you can get stirred up for good or for evil. What does stirring do? It is a process of mixing ingredients until they are blended. That is how your mind works when you wake up each day. You have thoughts swirling around in your head. You try to sort them out, but when the negative thoughts overtake your mind, the good thoughts are blended into the mix until the negative becomes your only focus.
Instead of trying to get rid of the negative thoughts, bring together the good ones and stir them up. Stir up gratitude. Stir up awe in Me, your great God and Creator. Stir up faith, hope and love, and what you can do this day to bring honor to your King. When you start stirring up these ingredients, you will find them expanding. The outcome will be something pleasing, and you will taste and see that the Lord is good. Remember, it is all in what you mix together. Therefore, choose your ingredients wisely.

To do His work, His unusual and incredible work,
And to accomplish His work, His extraordinary work.
