Devotional
So, beloved, I believe it more than any other thing that, being positive in our attitude is what determines the kind of life we are going to have. It has a way of forming a person and keep aligning him to the purpose of God upon his life. So, now, how do we fix it and get it right? It’s focusing on the right thing. You see, a positive attitude is a result of focusing on the right thing—God. When we focus on the problem instead of on God, we miss His perception of our situation. Thus, the Bible says in Colossians 3:2,
Key Scripture
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.Colossians 3:2 ESV
Refreshing for the Day
Now, being negative may not seem like a big deal at first; but having a negative attitude will never help us nor make us happy. It’s especially important for us to guard our minds against negativity and to maintain a positive attitude because God is positive. And when we are positive, it releases Him to work in our lives. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
A positive attitude is a result of focusing on the right thing—God. When we focus on the problem instead of on God, we miss His perception of our situation.
