And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude].
— Ephesians 4:23 (AMPC)
Adapted from the resource Closer to God Each Day – by Joyce Meyer1 MIN READ
God wants us to always maintain a good attitude for two reasons. First, it glorifies Him and encourages other people to remain positive when they have problems; and second, it allows Him to work in our lives, bringing help and deliverance from our struggles.
Always having a good attitude is difficult unless we receive God’s grace to do so. Jesus said that apart from Him, we could do nothing (see John 15:5), but through Him we can do all things (see Philippians 4:13).
Don’t wait until you are tempted to have a bad attitude but pray daily that no matter what comes your way, you can endure it with a good attitude. We will always be tempted, but we can pray not to give in to the temptation.
A good attitude is one of our greatest assets. It keeps us hopeful no matter what is happening in our lives.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I trust You to grant me strength to face every difficulty I encounter. Help me keep a good attitude, filled with Your Holy Spirit, and always be thankful in every situation, amen.
