I love this. “Guard your attitude” is the thing we (as Christians – Christ followers) must do in our words, actions, and reactions. We display Christ in all ways and it is Christ we want other to see – the way, the truth and the life. If the lost and ungodly see themselves in us then what good are we? ************* Your Agenda or God’s? (by Max Lucado) It’s easy to forget who’s the servant and who’s to be served. The tool of distortion is one of Satan’s slyest. When the focus is on yourself, you worry that your co-workers won’t appreciate you. Your leaders will overwork you. With time, your agenda becomes more important than God’s. You’re more concerned with presenting self than pleasing Him. You may even find yourself doubting God’s judgment. Remember Mary criticizing her sister Martha, “Lord don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? Tell her to help me.” (Luke 40:10) What had Mary chosen? She’d chosen to sit at the feet of Christ. God is more pleased with the quiet attention of a sincere servant than the noisy service of a sour one! Guard your attitude. If you concern yourself with your neighbor’s talents, you’ll neglect your own. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both!
