Attitude is Everything

Philippians 2:5-9

With the right attitude we cease “awfulizing” our

circumstances and start accepting our circumstances. We stop viewing ourselves as victims and see ourselves as

victors.

PHILIPPIANS 2:5-9

Things work out the best for those who

make the best of the way things work out.

Attitude = PHRONEO

“A way of thinking”

PHILIPPIANS 2:5

“Oh God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you … in a dry and weary land where there is

no water … because your love is better than life, my lips will

glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live and in your name I

will lift up my hands.”

PSALM 63:1-4

What lies behind us and what lies before us are

tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

OLIVER WENDALL HOLMES, JR.

“…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have

plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every

situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything

through Him who gives me strength…”

PHILIPPIANS 4:10-14

“I can do everything through Him who gives

me strength.”

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. We are all in

charge of our attitudes.
