Every day we need to put on a fresh new attitude. You know why? Yesterday's attitude will get old. If you don't start afresh and new then you'll bring all the negative from yesterday into today. You need to do something to get your day started right. I mean if your not a person who can manage a long time then take 5 minutes or 3 minutes and lock yourself in the bathroom and pray for 5 minutes. Just God help me. I want to put on love. I want to go out of my house today and treat people right. I've got problems God and they tend to make me cranky. Don't let me take them out on other people. Make a plan to go out and behave yourself. Every morning when you wake up you need to say Father thank you for this day. Thank you that you woke me up. Thank you that you gave me air to breathe. Thank you that you surrounded me with favor. I'm grateful to be alive I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for the opportunities. Lord I'm going to live this day to the full. That's putting on a fresh new attitude. You wipe the slate clean.
You let go of yesterday's disappointments that didn't work out. I'm going to see the good today, I'm going to be kind to somebody, I'm going to stay in faith and enjoy this day. Make a plan to be a blessing. Plan ahead of time. That when somebody offends you, you are going to forgive them immediately. Plan ahead of time to be quick to forgive. Plan ahead of time to give things away to compliment people to encourage people. Just get up in the morning and think Lord here's my goal, today everywhere that I go I don't know how many people I will see today maybe 15, 20, 25 But every single person I see I want to say a little something to them that will make them feel a little bit better then they were before. I rise early to cry out for help and to put my hope in your words. He says I start every morning talking to you, I cry out in prayer And listening to you. I read your word He says I start my day with hope. Are you starting your day with hope or despair?
At some point, we have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm the one that needs to change. Maybe I've developed a habit of seeing what's wrong rather then what's right? Maybe I've trained myself to be negative, disrespectful, hard to get along with. That's why it's so essential every morning to put on this fresh new attitude. I'm excited about this day. I'm grateful for this job. I'm not focusing on what's wrong. Lord, I want to thank you for what's right in my life. Hey, Jesus died for us so that we could have an excellent life church. I want you to have the very best life you can have. There's a lot of lost people out there that don't know Christ. Let's get out in the world and be a living message to them. Let's preach at all times and only use words when necessary. Let's let our attitude And our actions do the preaching. You can argue with words but you can not argue with consistent action. This day is a gift from God. It is filled with possibilities of new ideas, new friendships.
Mercy is kindness and kindness are mercy and boy we love the mercy of God, don't we? Oh my gosh, mercy is so amazing. We can do things wrong and God just forgives us. That he never shuts us out of his life Because we didn't do everything exactly the way he wanted it to be done. His mercy is new every day. Every morning, I figure he makes a new batch every day because I used up all of yesterday. This is why it's so important to get up in the morning and spend some time with God. Am I going to live this day negative, sour seeing the wrong, chip on my shoulder or am I going to live it in faith positive, hopeful, seeing the best, being good to people? This is a choice that we have to make every day. Whatever you happen to be facing today or may face I actually want you to call it Goliath because if you call it Goliath then at least you know where it's going to wind up. Life is to short to live negative sour letting circumstances dictate our attitude. Every morning you need to make the decision this is another day the Lord has made. I'm going to live it in faith, I'm going to be positive. I'm going to see the best, I'm going to make the most of this day.
