Attitude

Have you noticed the Attitude change in people? I know there are many reasons for a person's perception in life the way they go about it and how they handle it. But have you ever caught yourself being sucked in? I do a lot lately to much negativity and stress makes life harder then it needs to be. I have been praying that God would fill me with joy and love in my heart so i can show people the positive. I read today something so simple and child like but I know it works " if your nice to me , I am nice to you if your mean to me , I am still nice to you". Gods says in

1 Kings 11:11 (The Message)

^11-13 God said to Solomon, "Since this is the way it is with you, that you have no intention of keeping faith with me and doing what I have commanded, I'm going to rip the kingdom from you and hand it over to someone else. But out of respect for your father David I won't do it in your lifetime. It's your son who will pay—I'll rip it right out of his grasp. Even then I won't take it all; I'll leave him one tribe in honor of my servant David and out of respect for my chosen city Jerusalem." So because of Solomon breaking the basic demands of the convenant and there by severely underminding the entire convenant relationship between God and his people. God took away the kingdom.

He also says in Romans 12:3 " For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you , Do not think of yourself more highly then you ought , but rather think of yourself in sober judgement in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."Because God has given the power there can be no basis for a superior attitude or self righteousness. We have been working on our 9 year who is very set in her ways , very bossy and kinda overbearing . I know what your going to say "already at nine??" I said to her today after Ruth had mentioned this verse, that she should think on it and pray.this quote kinda says it all "Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?" ~Dennis and Wendy Mannering. Can't wait to see what you come up with.....
