DAY 11 – IDENTIFYING THOSE GOODLY AND BADLY ATTITUDES AS RECORDED IN OUR DAILY BIBLE READING…



Genesis 24 vs. 12 – this is a clear attitude of selflessness. Abraham’s servant prayed for his master, that God should show kindness to his master, Abraham. This kind of attitude is worthy of emulation, I think! No wonder Apostle Paul in the Book of 1 Timothy 2:1-2, enjoined us to pray for our leaders and those in authority. When we pray for them, God hears and answers us faster, the way He did for Abraham’s servant and still in the same 1 Timothy 2:3, we were told that it’s good and acceptable in the sight of God. Then in vs.63 of Genesis 24, the attitude of meditating is considered. Meditation is a powerful tool in our daily Christian life, which can help us to get closer to God. When you go deeper with Him, thinking through his words every day by day, you’re rest assured He would lead and guide you through every challenge of the day. That is what He expects from us, to always recognize Him as the Author and Finisher of our fate. He’s ever ready to put us through but let’s bear in mind that God should be sought always in our lives and not only when we have challenges.

Psalms 8;  vs. 9 – the attitude of being thankful. The Psalmist has said it all in this passage for today. We owe God thanks always, apart from making us in His very image, He made us a little lower than the angels and in addition gave us dominion over every of His creations; whoa! God I thank you so dearly!

Matthew 9: 14-38; vs. 38 – let’s consider the attitude of co-labouring with Christ Jesus. From this verse, we have seen how Jesus Christ our Saviour went about healing the sick and all manner of diseases, even raising the dead. We, as believers with our faith fully activated can do the same, after all Jesus Christ had told us that if we believe. All these works he did, we can do even much greater ones, Alleluia! Read John 14:12.    

Prayer –
Lord Jesus, help me to live like you and to do greater works than you have done while on the earth, Amen.
