A Good Attitude Makes a Big Difference

The Apostle Paul tells us “Do everything without complaining and arguing so that you may become blameless and pure…” (Philippians 2:14).  Paul is talking about our attitude.  You can approach a task with enthusiasm or dread.  It doesn't change the task, but it can change you and the result.
 
There is really very little difference in people as a whole, but that little difference makes a big difference.  The little difference is attitude.  The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.  I have seen this in my own family and I have also seen it in the family of God.  Those individuals who approach their work with a positive attitude without complaining or arguing, accomplish much more, and are happier in the process.
 
Everything that we try to accomplish as a Christian should be defined by a good attitude.  This can happen when you understand the power of a proper perspective.  The power of a proper perspective has everything to do with my attitude toward God.  If I really believe “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”; it will have a positive impact on my life.  There is a story about David and Goliath in 1 Samuel Chapter 17 that reminds me the difference a right attitude can make.  I would encourage you to review the story this week as you seek the right attitude.
