Attitude on serving God

Isaiah 1:19

“If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land.” NIV

We are still looking at attitudes and how they affect us in having the best from God. I want you to know that your attitude will not be automatically good because you are a Christian, it is something you decide to have, I mean right attitude. Let me just pick two areas:

Attitude on serving God: Some people have a bad attitude when it comes to serving God and this is not acceptable to Him. When your attitude is wrong you cannot have the best from God or even from your employer. God has a way He wants to be served.

“Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing.” Psalm 100:2

When our attitude in serving God is different than what the above passage says we do not get the best from Him.

Attitude on Giving to God: This is another major area that some people come with a wrong attitude. The Scripture says God loves a cheerful and prompt to do it giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

“Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do it") giver [whose heart is in his giving].” AMP

What is your attitude like in these two areas? Change your attitude as regards serving God and giving. Determine to have the best attitudes in these areas and watch God give you His best. Remember this: Your attitude is a reflection of what is really going on deep down on the inside of you. It reveals what you are and draws to you what comes to you. And your actions flow out of your attitude and your actions create your destination.
