All About AttitudeSample

Attitude Adjustment

We have to be careful not to let our past experiences, people, stress, or fear determine our attitude. If we focus on our circumstances, it will eat us alive! If we focus on Jesus, He will renew who we are in Him. 

Life is going to happen.  When it does, if we have a negative attitude, we become defeated and angry. We blame others and begin to believe we are victims.  If we have a positive attitude, we have joy and can grow, becoming stronger and more like Christ.  Now, a positive attitude doesn’t mean we are happy when we lose our job, it just means that we rely on God instead of ourselves to move forward. We can take on an attitude of love instead of revenge. We can look to the future with faith that God is in control. We know that even if, “We are hard pressed on every side we are not crushed; if perplexed we are not in despair; if persecuted we are not abandoned; if struck down, we are not destroyed.” 

If we want our attitude to be transformed, we have to allow God’s truth to saturate our minds. Right attitudes can only be formed when we spend time letting Jesus change the way we think.  As our thinking is changed, so is our heart.  Over time, our attitude will begin to reflect Jesus. Life will no longer happen to us. Our situations will no longer destroy us.  Instead, we will be living with the attitude that God is in control, and has entrusted us with situation in front of us. We can do all things with Him at our side, and we can do it with a godly attitude. 

How do you need to start spending time with Him?  A good place to begin is by telling Him what type of attitude you want Him to grow inside of you. Let Him begin to renew your mind today.  Your life will never be the same!
