Episode 430 - Show Notes
- You and I have a God-given ability to express an attitude of our own choosing. Your attitude is not based on your health, your relationships, or your circumstances. We are not always in control of our environment or our circumstances. We all agree there are things that can happen to us that are out of our control. But you and I have this unique ability to choose how we will respond.
- Through Scripture, God calls us to honor Him even with our attitude. I believe our attitude is a part of our witness to the world and as such it truly matters. It matters a lot. In fact, I’ve heard people rightly say, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” If you can’t keep a good attitude you probably won’t go far in life. But the real reason our attitude matters is because it matters to God.
- Remember that with the right attitude you’ll influence more people for Christ.
- All around us are people who are discouraged and beaten down by life. They have plenty of people around them who are reminding them of the negative things all the time.
- What people need is someone with a godly perspective. We cannot impact our world for Christ if our attitude is driving people away from us.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, the Bible says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Philippians 2:14-15 says, “Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”
Ephesians 4:29 - “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
