Contributed by Jose Cabajar on Aug 21, 2003 (message contributor)
Summary: Good attitude is an amazing fruit of fear of God.
Attitude has always a great part in everyone’s
success and failure in life. Bad attitude hinders
our potential to achieve extraordinary accomplishment.
Good attitude conquers all hindrances that are
positioned on our way to good success. Being aware of
our attitude helps us to evaluate ourselves and to
improve ourselves gradually and consistently.
The Bible is a wonderful gift of God and is
liken to a mirror in showing us the things that are to
be corrected in our lives. Fear of God is the needed
key to open man’s eyes of understanding that he may
know the value of good attitude. Good attitude pleases
God.
Our attitude affects our fellowship with our
Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy
Spirit. It also shapes our dealings with other
people. The Bible shows us the ways of Truth and
guides us to have a well-pleasing attitude toward God.
