“ Thankfulness is the attitude that perfectly displaces my sinful tendency to complain and thereby releases joy and blessing into my life.

Reading The Book Lord Change My Attitude

We all have times when our attitude needs adjusting. This is a great book with lots of advise. Our attitude determines our actions. Hmmmm

“ Rebellion against proper authority reveals a deeper rejection of God’s authority, which brings devastating consequences to our lives.

“ Build people up by encouragement
Give people credit by acknowledgement
Give people recognition by gratitude

Restructuring our lives

 I was reading a devotional book by Beth Moore called Whispers of Hope. Day Nine talks about I Corinthians 10:31 “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” The challenge she gave was to: 

  1. Reestablish the goal-Isaiah 43:7
  2. Redirect your focus-Matthew 6:33
  3. Rethink your motivation-Galatians 1:10
  4. Rest in God’s will-Hebrews 4:10
I was caught in the captivity of activity. I was not listening to the voice of God. I was being self-reliant instead of God-reliant. I am taking these challenges to heart!
