ATTITUDE

By Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude of life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain ways. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you.... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

WEDNESDAY:

Ephesians:

We are continuing our study through the book of Ephesians taught by Pastor Rick. We have looked at the armour of God in chapter 6. And we were asked a very challenging question: God's armour is to protect us against the devil and all his schemes ---- but where are we not protected by that armour?? And , how can we be protected there??
