Click Here Choose a Productive Activity Day 307 "You don't really care about anything," says Sue, who lost her husband. "Nothing has any meaning to you. But I would suggest that you get involved in something to help other people, a soup kitchen, or something you can do without a lot of thought." Replace your indifferent, negative outlook with something good and productive. The Bible verse below explains that you are not only to cease your wrong behavior, but you are to replace it with an activity that helps other people. "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need" (Ephesians 4:28). Loving Father, it's time for me to step away from my thoughts and problems and do something for someone else. Guide me today to take an active step toward this. Amen.
