Get a good attitude...it determines the course of your life!

Get a good attitude...it determines the course of your life. Be careful what you're hearing. The measure of thought and study you give to the truth you hear will be the measure of virtue and knowledge that comes back to you. And more will be given to you who hear ...for him who has nothing even what he has will be taken away [by force]. Truth is the operative word... many go through the motions of saying, giving and doing but their heart's aren't pure. Read up on what Jesus told the Pharisees-outward actions are just that... outward actions. We're to be constantly renewed in the spirit of our mind-our attitude...lining it up with God's Word. Use what you've been given to the best of your ability...making the most of what God's placed in your hands-He says He will give you more. Don't believe the lie, that you don't have anything to give or use. God gives each one of us something to work with...our attitude determines if we have the spiritual maturity to be trusted with more. If you're griping about your current job...you're probably not ready for a promotion. If you're trashing your current car...you're not ready to care for a new one. If you're not giving the first tenth of your money and being generous now, with what you have...you won't give more when you have more. As Christians we're guaranteed to achieve in God's design...His ways work all the time with all people when they submit their lives to Him. That includes our attitude...it determines the course of our life and what we're mature enough to handle. Submit your attitude today and live the life God's called you to!
