Small Attitudes

A line about attitude From Rocky Grams:

“As the years have gone by, I have learned that these small and invaluable attitudes are the ones that have marked the thousands of the servants of God…..”

My purpose in this morning’s blog entry is not to write so much about particular attitudes as it is to remind us that our attitude, whatever it is, is the advance man of our lives. You attitude is the first thing that enters the room. It determines your altitude for the day and it makes an impact on the lives of others. The level of your surrender to God is evident in your attitude. You can attempt to mask it but it will find a way to express itself. Knowing that to be true, it is important that the small attitudes we carry today be positive and edifying. Someone will make decisions today based on my attitude while I am around them. Anne Frank once said,

“ Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.”

I like the concept that you can achieve a lot in the course of time. Colleen Barrett once said,

“Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.”

Try it today. You’ll find that the decision to have a good attitude will work well. The Apostle Paul told us to let the mind of Christ be in us. The attitude of Jesus, Now that’s an example worth reaching for.
