" HOW'S YOUR ATTITUDE '

Good Morning To You,

How are you feeling today, please don't allow the
circumstances of life to dictate just how loving you
are to another. " Attitude ", do you have a good attitude
or one not so good? " Attitude " is defined in this way:
A mental position or feeling with regard to a fact or state.

One might just say my way of thinking, or someone
may ask for your stance on a subject. Independence and
self-reliance are positive traits, but only within the
framework of God's standards. Have you ever had bad
feelings towards someone who has helped or rescued
you? We sometimes strike out at blameless people
who get in our way because we are embarrassed or our
pride is hurt. Lashing out at others can be a sign that
something is wrong with us. Don't allow your own hurt
pride to lead you to hurt others.

Don't disobey God by following your own desires
instead of doing what God wants. There was a time when
attitudes were: " EVERY MAN DID JUST WHAT WAS
RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES ". Now, remarkably this is
similar to today's prevailing attitudes. We all must live by
Godly standards. The Father has not left our conduct and
opinions to you and me, He points us in the right direction.
We can avoid conforming to society's low standards by
taking God's commands seriously and applying them to our
lives.

Has someone in your family or someone that thinks
highly of you attempted to assist you but only ended up
embarrassing you? When facing a tough decision, don't
let the negatives cause you to loose sight of the positives.
Weigh both sides carefully. Don't let potential difficulties
blind you to God's power to help and his promise to guide
us through all situations.

Last Point: If you are often dissatisfied, skeptical,
complaining, or bitter, beware! These attitudes lead to
rebellion and separation from God. Any choice to side
against God is a step in the direction of letting go of him
completely and making your own way through life.

Until Next Time...
