Oh, yeah ?!?!?!? What attitude?????

Good morning everyone!!! I trust and pray that your yesterday was successful and filled with the Lord's help. You never know what will happen, even when you pray, things happen. Yep, someone, somewhere, sometime will become upset and why? Then how do they act?? How do you act?? Huh?? How do I act??? Well.....uh.....yes, we do need to evaluate, so let's do that right now.
Ephesians 4:23-24 "INSTEAD, LET THE SPIRIT RENEW YOUR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES. PUT ON YOUR NEW NATURE, CREATED TO BE LIKE GOD-TRULY RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY."
So, what is this saying then? Well, to begin with, before we came to Christ we were of the world, enjoying worldly things, and some we still do. However, when we accept the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit will renew our life through our thoughts and attitudes. Our old ways are of the past, we need to be shed of it as we get rid of old items such as clothes, tools, etc. When we choose to accept what Jesus Christ offers us, salvation, this is a one time decision and we must be very aware that this is a daily, hourly, minute by minute, second by second committment.
We should not longer be driven by the impulses of the world, but be conscious of our thoughts, deeds, attitudes. Many of us know Christians who appear to be there daily by knowledge, but their attitudes are not representative of Christ. How is your attitude? Are you toting an attitude of the world? Are you toting a "chip" on you shoulder? Are you trying to do what is right in God's sight?
Once we put our lives in the hands of Jesus Christ, who died to make us pure we need to put on the new nature. What nature? The nature of Jesus!! Let the things of the world go, and begin heading in the direction of the new nature, have the new way of thinking that the Holy Spirit gives. Take time to look at your attitude and evaluate where you are walking. Are you walking HOLY or hell-y?
To live in the new nature we need to stay in the word, continually seeking God, and continue studying. God is great, nothing can seperate you from the journey of God, the love of God unless you allow. God loves us unconditionally, do you love him equally? Attitude check!! Thank you for reading with me this morning. Love each of you and pray that you have a wonderful day in the Lord!!! God is good all the time....all the time God is good!!!!!
Pray of the people on our list, those in need, our leaders from local to national, give thanks in all you do and have.
In Christ's Love and Grace
