Attitude: Part 2
"It's Your Choice
A. Josh. 24:15, Choose you this day whom you will serve...
You and I have several choices
we can make in life. In fact you have several choices you have
to make every day.
You can choose to be in a good mood or...not. Every time something
bad happens, you can choose to be a victim or...choose to learn
from it and overcome. Every time you hear somebody whining and
complaining, you can choose to join the pity party or...refuse
it and look for answers and remain optimistic. Become a part of
the problem or a part of the solution.
a. No, it's not always easy. The best things in life are rarely
easy. But life is about
choices. Optimism and pessimism are choices you have to make every
day. Did you know that discouragement is a choice and hope is
a choice. You can choose to try one more time...or you can choose
to quit.
Choose to sing or choose to sob. Choose forgiveness or choose
bitterness. You can choose to hate or love another person who
has wronged you. You can choose to serve God with all your heart
or you can choose to pay Him lip service and loose your soul.
That was the choice God gave Israel in Deut. 30:19?20. I
call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have
set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore
choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that
you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and
that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length
of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
1. Matt. 27:22, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called
Christ?" Thats the most important question in life.
And it was not asked by a God Loving, God fearing man. It was
asked by an unbelieving heathen, his name was Pilate.
2. You cannot always determine or control your circumstances,
but you can always choose how you respond to them. When all is
said and done...life is a choice but choices help us learn the
difference between right and wrong.
3. Thats a truth spoken in Isa. 7:15, Curds and honey
He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the
good. You gotta learn to take the bad with the good. Otherwise
youll never learn to tell the difference between clabber
and honey and youll never go very high in life. Your attitude...will
determine your altitude! How high you will rise in life and in
your relationship with God.
Acts 20:32.
