What is you heart condition? What is your attitude? How do you view life? Do you view life with a positive outlook despite the circumstances you face? Do you know it is your decision? Will you thank God for today and every day you have in the future?
Our attitude is ours and no others. It is our decision to face the day with a good attitude or a bad attitude. Our attitude does not have to change because of circumstances, even though we may have learned it should and our culture says it should.
A positive attitude is powerful. We decide to have a positive attitude or negative attitude. We choose to put our trust in God or not. We choose to believe he is in control or not. We choose to step out in faith or fear. We choose to give the credit to God or keep it for ourselves.
When our heart overflows with God, it is much easier to choose to have a positive attitude. The more we know about God and the closer we get to him, the more likely we are to see each day as a gift and approach it with positive outlook. Having a positive attitude not only affects us but also has a positive effect on others. Some will ask how we can be so positive based on the situation we face. That is a golden opportunity to share our faith.
Having a heart that overflows with God is not simply putting on rose colored glasses. It is a heart that believes God is in control and believe God is with us every step of the path we walk. It won’t keep us from experiencing difficult situations, but it will buoy us on those rough seas. Giving God thanks for another day is a good way to start our day.
I pray we all believe God is in control. I pray we trust God to be with us every day and every situation. I pray each one of us will choose to have a positive attitude, trusting God every step of the way. Know God is on control. Trust God. Know he is with you. Choose a positive attitude.
Psalm 45:1
My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
