attitude

Did you know you can have a forward-focused, loving attitude about almost anything?

In this post you’ll learn how to improve your attitude by

  1. Choosing an attitude like Christ’s.
  2. Taking a very practical step.

Choose God’s Way 

True happiness comes to you as you choose God’s plan for your life.

Choosing God’s way over your own isn’t necessarily easy, is it? It’s humbling! My friend Kara wants to serve women at her church but her offer has been rejected. This discourages Kara. She has adopted the attitude that God has another plan, a better plan. Kara has adopted a God-centered attitude.

Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done. (Luke 22:42, ESV)

Not my will, but yours be done: This is the heart’s cry of a believer who desires God’s plan for her life.

Are you in. . .

Choose God’s way and you’ve won more than half the battle.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)

Step Out!

Ready to learn HOW to improve your attitude? 

Try this simple exercise. In a journal or on an index card, write:

“I choose to _________ (a godly action) so I will ___________ (a godly result).

Here a few ideas to get you started.

  • I choose to deepen my friendships so I will have people to turn to when life gets tough.
  • I choose to save an extra $100 a month so I will build savings and avoid using credit cards for surprise expenses like a car repair.
  • I choose to talk with the kids about skipping their chores so I will stop holding in my anger toward them.

Do you see how a God-honoring attitude helps you move forward?

Your turn: I choose to ______________ so I will ___________________.

As you make God-honoring choices, you will rid the junk that blocks you. As John Piper said,

So the point is: Don’t stroll. Don’t meander. And don’t wander about aimlessly. Run as in a race with a finish line where everything hangs on the race.
