Power of a Positive Attitude

Power of a Positive Attitude

Inspired by: Joyce Meyer

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.
Wisdom provokes a positive attitude.
A positive attitude keeps one spiritually
obedient.
A Call to Holy Living
1 Peter 1:13-25
"So think clearly and exercise self-control.
Look forward to the gracious salvation that
will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed
to the world.
So you must live as God's obedient children.
Don't slip back into your old ways of living to
satisfy your own desires. You didn't know
any better then.
But now you must be holy in everything you do,
just as God who chose you is holy.
For the scriptures say, "You must be holy
because I am holy."
And remember that your heavenly Father to
whom you pray has no favourites. He will judge
or reward you according to what you do. So
you must live in reverent fear of him during your
time as "foreigners in the land."
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you
from the empty life you inherited from your
ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere
gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ,
the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.
God chose him as your ransom long before the
world began, but he has now revealed him to you
in these last days.
Through Christ you have come to trust in God.
And you have placed your faith and hope in God
because he raised Christ from the dead and gave
him great glory.
You were cleansed from your sins when you
obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love
to each other as brothers and sisters.
Love each other deeply with all your heart.
For you have been born again, but not to a life that
will quickly end. Your new life will last forever
because it comes from the eternal living word of God.

As the scriptures say, "People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
But the word of the Lord remains forever."
And that word is the Good News that was preached
to you."
The imminent return of Christ should motivate us to
live for him. This means being mentally alert
("think clearly"), and focused ("look forward") and
disciplined ("exercise self-control"). Are you ready to
meet Christ, living as God's obedient child?
With a Christ-like, positive attitude; we as the Father's
adopted children receive enriched blessings.
Shedding more and more Living Light of Jesus Christ
upon our paths, leading to eternal life.
Walking the "walk of faith" in a Christ-like positive attitude,
Christians are drawn into a much more intimate relationship
with our provider Jehovah Jireh.
