It’s Time to Align Your Attitude

Matthew 13:3–9 (NLT)

3 He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:

“Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. 5 Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. 6 But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. 8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! 9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Your Attitude Reveals the Real You

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

23 Guard your heart above all else,

for it determines the course of your life.

Matthew 12:34 (NLT)

34 For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.

Matthew 13:8–9 (NLT)

8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! 9 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Your Attitude Determines the Success and Failure of Every Relationship in Your Life

Philippians 2:3–4 (NLT)

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

Philippians 2:5–6 (NLT)

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Though he was God,*

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

Philippians 2:7 (NLT)

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;

he took the humble position of a slave

and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,

Matthew 20:28 (NLT)

28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Your Attitude is Always Your Choice

Colossians 3:12 (NLT)

12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT)

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the power to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstance.”

Abraham Maslow
