An Attitude of JOY


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Hope you’re drinking it with a good attitude! 

We all want 2011 to be a year filled with abundant joy, don’t we?  We know that we will have to face difficult circumstances. BUT we can still experience joy if we will follow the instruction of  Philippians 2:5: Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus.

Would people describe you as having “the attitude of Christ”?  One of love, humility, forgiveness, obedience, service. and total trust in God?
  
        Airplane pilots often use "attitude" to describe their horizontal relationship with the runway. If their attitude isn’t aligned properly, the plane will make contact with the ground at the wrong angle and it will cause them to crash. Similarly, our attitude is our inward disposition toward other things, such as people or circumstances. As with an airplane, attitude is applied whenever we must deal with something other than ourselves. According to God’s word, when you become a Christian, a part of your new creation is the development of new attitudes — your attitude should become like that of Jesus. 

            So set your attitude barometer to be like Christ! Allow Him to plan your flight pattern and sit back and "enJOY the JOurneY" of 2011!
