It’s the Inner Attitude of Your Heart


The chaos of the moment or the inner peace of Christ. Choose the attitude of your heart.

August’s Awakening, Day 21

I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it’s only a choice of attitude.

 —Judith M. Knowlton

If you look for the good, you will find it; if you look for the bad, you will also find it.

The inner attitude of the heart is far more crucial than the mechanics for coming into the reality of the spiritual life.

 —Richard Foster

 

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:4–6 NIV

 

            It’s the inner attitude of the heart that matters, even if that’s all you have to hang on to. In life’s difficult situations, choosing the attitude of your heart and mind may be the only choice that’s in your control. Still, you must choose. You can take the situation in all its tragic consequences and repercussions, or you can make the situation as one with a gleam of hope with Christ beckoning you onward. Tragedies will come, and we must overcome. We can only get through with the peace of Christ that transcends all understanding and by choosing to think, act, and respond as He would do. Find the ray of hope, the rainbow after the storm, the calm in the midst of chaos. Let the attitude of your heart dictate your response to the many calamities that this life will bring.
