It's all about attitude!

Yes, it’s all about the attitude!

My God given friend, Lisa, reminded me on my last post that fear is an emotion that we feel but what is truly important is what we do with it.  After reading her comment I started to think that everything in our life is about the attitude that we have.  We can be facing challenges but if we remain steady and focused that God will bring forth light out of any darkness then we are facing our challenges with the right attitude. 

So what kind of attitude do we give God?  Let’s think about this for a moment, I personally don’t like to be surrounded by negative nagging people.  I feel that when I’m around someone that is constantly complaining I feel that person starts to wear me down.  Even in the work environment if you have someone that is very well educated and has a lot of talent if that person has a lousy attitude we don’t even think about how much talent they have but how difficult and painful it is to hear the constant nagging.  In the other hand if you have someone that you work with and perhaps that person doesn’t have a proper education or even much talent but if he or she has a great positive attitude you can’t help but to want to be surrounded by such wonderful energy.   This is how God feels about us as well.  Just think about the Israelites when they wonder the desert for 40 years after being freed out of the hand of Pharaoh.  Not only did they drive Moses crazy with their constant nagging but eventually even God got worn down by their constant nagging to the point that He purposely made them wonder in the desert for 40 years just so they could learn a lesson.

So the moral of the story of the Israelites is this; God will not only deliver you out of a situation but will provide for you but if you constantly nag Him (when is this going to happen?  When is my blessing coming?  Did God forget about me?  I’m a good person why is this happening to me?) that might lead you to wonder in your desert for a long time until you realize that God knows what He is doing and the blessing will come when He decides that you are ready to receive it.

It’s all about attitude!
