WALKING AND TALKING A GOOD ATTITUDE
by Homer Owen
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true,
whatever things are
noble, whatever things are just, whatever things
are pure, whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of good
report, if there is
any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy-meditate on these
things.” Philippians 4:8
Ruby and I have just returned from an awesome trip
to Cancun, Mexico.
One of our grand- daughters was married next to
the beautiful ocean
that our God created in the beginning of this
earth. His heart gave
us an excellent earth with everything in it to
bless us as we go about
rejoicing in so great a time and all that comes
forth for us.
The hotel we were in had great eating places. The
buffet had great
food except the 2nd morning the bacon source was
not real good. I had
a bad attitude about missing the great bacon with
my eggs and the next
morning I was amazed that there was no bacon in
the pan. The Lord
told me that my attitude had been bad and that I
needed to ask Him to
forgive me. I did and in a few minutes one of the
family came forth
with her plate and in it had great bacon. Our
loving God comes forth
quickly to bless us as we purpose to walk with Him
in a good mind.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a
steadfast spirit
within me. Do not cast me away from Your
presence, And do not take
Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of
Your salvation, and
uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” Psalms
51:10-12
We must see how important it is for us to think
properly at all
times. We are blessed in the salvation that was
given us by Jesus and
part of this salvation is a new heart. We are
told that we have two
minds. Our own present mind needs to be
transformed by having it
renewed so that we have the mind of Christ in
control of our walk here
on the earth.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which
is your reasonable service. And do not be
conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove
what is good and acceptable and perfect will of
God.” Romans 12:1-2
My granddaughter with the good bacon gave me a
slice and it was great.
How great is our God of loving mercy and
kindness. May our God help
all of us to have His mind in control of our daily
lives. Amen and
Amen. Blessings, Homer and Ruby
