Make a Difference: Develop a Good Attitude

If I asked you, "What can you do for the Lord?" What would your answer be? What is your attitude toward the work the Lord has given you? Do you wish to make a difference? If so, it all depends on your attitude. 

Joshua and Caleb were two among a nation of people. They desired to make a difference. When they returned from spying out the Promised Land, they possessed an attitude that said, "We can do this!." Even in circumstances that looked impossible in the sight of many, they could still say, "If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it to us – a land which flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them" (Numbers 14:8-9). Later in Joshua 14:9-12, at the age of 85, Caleb still had that same attitude when he said, "Give me this hill country." 

These men had the same attitude towards the Lord’s work as we should today. But circumstances of life sometimes cloud our thinking and we have an attitude of doubt. This attitude is not pleasing to the Lord. As a result we need to be constantly mindful of our attitude.

As you examine your attitude and decide what to make it, remember these truths:

 

1. No matter what, your attitude is a choice. Circumstances may not be of your choosing, but your attitude is all yours.
2. It’s easier to maintain the right attitude than to regain it. Fight to develop a positive attitude, and then don’t let it slip away.
3. Your attitude determines your actions. Your outlook will determine your life’s outcomes more than any other single factor.
4. The people you lead reflect the attitude you possess. If you have any responsibility for others – as a boss, parent, or volunteer leader – the attitude of your people is a reflection of your own. 

Choose to have the attitude the Lord desires you to have and work hard to maintain it. Then you will succeed as a Christian and lead others to Him as well.

--David Deason
