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.

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

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...
