Don’t Let Your Circumstance Dictate Your Attitude

Are you content? Are you really? If you lost everything you owned today, how would that make you feel? How would you react?

Let’s say you’re on your way to a very important meeting and all of a sudden you hear a weird noise coming from your car. You pull over and see that you have a flat tire. Ok, so, you could either get really upset or you can calmly call the right people who you know could help you. Or let’s say you’re out of a job and a friend of yours really needs to borrow $10 from you but it’s the only money you have left. Will you give it to your friend? Did your boyfriend just break up with you? Oh man. Now I guess you’re gonna have to give up on love and never get in to a relationship again. Or did you’re friend just stab you in the back? Oh ok, so, now this means you’ll have to put up walls around people and try not to let anyone in too fast or let people see the real you.

Is your current circumstance dictating your attitude? Are you letting whatever is happening in your life right control your happiness? Letting your current situation stop you from celebrating another day of life is a quick way to become bitter and doubtful.

Just know that your current situation is not your final destination.

You aren’t gonna be where you are forever. Seasons change and things don’t remain the same.

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-184

If things are going well,praise God. If things aren’t going so well, praise God. 

Life is more enjoyable when your attitude is determined by knowing that you have Christ in your life he’s all you need. If you have Christ and nothing else, you have EVERYTHING.
