" ATTITUDES "

This week we are looking into " Attitudes " as we all need to update our thinking from time to time. We have attitudes about everything that comes our way. Now Attitude is defined in this manner: 1- Posture 2- A mental position or feeling with regard to a fact or state 3- The position of something in relation to something else. What should our attitude be like when approaching God? At the Father's command, Moses removed his sandals and covered his face. Taking off his shoes was an act of reverence, conveying his own unworthiness before God. God is our friend, but he is also our sovereign Lord. To approach him frivolously shows a look of respect and sincerity. When you come to God in Worship, do you approach him casually, or do you come as though you were invited guest before a king? If necessary, adjust your Attitude so it is suitable for approaching a holy God. Even when your situation appears dire, we must trust by having a positive attitude toward God. Now, one of the best examples that I can think of is Moses. He was leading his people out of bondage and assuring them all the way that God would provide. The people were hostile and despairing, but Moses encouraged them to watch the wonderful way God would rescue them. Moses had a positive attitude! When it looked as if they were trapped, Moses called upon God to intervene. We may not be chased by an army, but we may still feel trapped. Instead of giving in to despair, we should adopt Moses' attitude to " Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. Until Next Time... Jim,
