Change the channel.
We all know how to use the remote control to change the channels on the TV. If we see something we don't like, no big deal - we just flip channels. We need to learn how to mentally change channels when negative images of the past pop up in our minds unexpectedly. Unfortunately, when some people see those negative experiences on their minds' "screens", instead of quickly changing channels, they pull up a chair and get some popcorn, as though they're going to watch a good movie. They willingly allow themselves to relive all those hurts and pains. Than they wonder why they are depressed, upset, or discouraged.
Learn to change the channel. Don't let your mind or your emotions drag you down into despair. Insted, dwell on the good things God has done in your life.
