Your Attitude Is Your Aptitude


A lingering thought on attitude has given me something to share with you today. 


Attitude really IS everything. While combing through my Bible the other day, I found a sentence that I jotted down for some unknown reason, and it said this: 


There will always be inevitable uneasiness.


How true that statement is!


Your attitude will determine your aptitude in life. Your problems will never seem as big as long as you simply make the choice to live with an attitude that focuses on Jesus and running strong for His glory! 


If you ever find yourself with an the least bit of a complaining spirit, let this be a reminder to you to always make the choice to run your race with patience, resist the devil and his silly little tactics, and to rejoice in every day, for it is God's gift to you. Each moment is precious and should never be taken for granted. 


Remember that the walk of faith is full of spiritual warfare. Make the choice to lay aside what is weighing you down. 


"Wherefore, seeing that we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1)


This point is short and sweet, but it's also crucial to stand guard when it comes to your thoughts. That is the first avenue that Satan will attack IF you let him do so. Resist him and he will flee. If there is something in your life that doesn't need to be there, remove it. If you feel an emotion or have a thought that doesn't need to be around, pray about it immediately. Don't let it grow roots. Nip it in the bud. Fight it. Resist it. 


"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". (James 4:7)


Lastly, making the choice to rejoice and be grateful for every day will help you to handle those circumstances that cause that inevitable uneasiness. Jesus will always carry you through those valleys. He will move the mountains that you aren't able to climb on your own. 

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Your attitude is your aptitude. May you choose to rejoice today and everyday, never forgetting to remember the gift of life that God gave you & the sacrifice that He made for you and me.

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

A Time To Reset (New Years 2026)

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...
