The Heart Attitudes: Part 1Sample

  

Philippians 2:5 NIV

“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus”

Paul urges every believer to adopt this audacious goal. It is more than a goal. It is a command in the form of a statement. This is one of those statements that are easier to say than to live out. Can I really have the same attitude as Jesus? Is it possible that I can approach life today with the same one as Jesus when He walked on the earth 2000 years ago?

Bullock defines attitude as an angle of approach to life. The heart is the cockpit of life. So the Heart Attitudes determine both our goal and the way we will get there. 

What is your default attitude? How are you approaching life? Where is your heart pointing you now? Where are you heading and who is going with you? These are all questions that will be addressed as we meditate on the scriptures that undergird each of the seven Heart Attitudes.

But first, you must decide if you want your attitude to the same as that of Christ Jesus. Are you willing to allow the Spirit of the Lord to change your approach to life? Spend some time today thinking about those last two questions!
