As believers we understand our freedoms we have in Christ Jesus. One of the greatest freedoms we have is the freedom of choice. We have been set free from the bondage of a world filled with the “I have no choice” attitude, into a world where we know that even our love for God had to come from a pure and simple choice. Therefore being no longer conformed to this world we are transformed by the renewing of our minds daily with the word of God, which allows us to choose which attitude we will have in any given trial or tribulation. If something negative happens to us we do not have to choose to have a negative attitude. One of our great champions of the faith who exemplified having the proper attitude in many situations was David. His attitude towards Goliath, Saul, God, were all based in a wholeness and trusting in God’s character. David continued to have an attitude of praise in the midst of his lowest lows and his highest highs. God did abundantly above all David could have hoped or dreamed through him because of David’s heart and his attitude towards his Father. Today, choose to have an attitude like David in all life situations, let it be grounded in trust, praise, and thanksgiving for our Holy and Righteous Savior and God!!! Have a wonderful life of attitude on purpose!!!!!
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
