An Attitude Adjustment (1)
May 12, 2020
‘Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.’ Philippians 4:8 CEV
We all need ‘an attitude adjustment’ from time to time. It’s crucial to maintain the right attitude when the going gets rough. No matter what happens in your life, determine to go through it with the right attitude. In fact, determine beforehand to keep a positive mindset in the midst of every negative situation that arises. If you make this a conscious decision and meditate on it during the good times, when difficulties arise you’ll already be prepared.
Paul writes: ‘Keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise… And God, who gives peace, will be with you.’ (Philippians 4:8–9 CEV) Some of the greatest writers and composers in history created masterpieces during the worst times of their lives. Beethoven’s most famous symphonies were written when he was almost totally deaf and experiencing great sorrow.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to think, ‘I could never be like those people.’ If you think like that, you’ll be defeated before you even try. Maintaining a right attitude is always much easier than regaining a right attitude. So as soon as you sense yourself becoming negative, make an immediate attitude adjustment.
The Bible says, ‘Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’ (James 4:7 KJV) The moment the enemy sends negative thoughts into your mind, stop them midstream. Discipline yourself to stand strong with a positive attitude in every circumstance. When you do, ‘God, who gives peace, will be with you’.
Soulfood: Num 25–26, Mark 8:14–26, Ps 57, Pro 11:14
