Today's devotional reading for:
Sunday, Aug 2, 2020 Change Your Attitude and Change Your World
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. ‘Eat and drink!’ he says to you, but his heart is not with you.”
— Proverbs 23:7
A student of flying was taking his first solo flight.
All went well until he had to land his plane.
Suddenly, he heard a voice over the radio saying, “Correct your attitude.”
He thought to himself, “My attitude?
My attitude is just fine.”
Because the student didn’t heed his flight instructor’s warning, he crashed his plane.
After the crash, his instructor showed him this definition for “attitude” in the flight manual: “the plane’s inclination toward the earth.”
Our inclination toward life can destroy us or make us successful.
Why? Because our attitudes affect our relationships with others, with ourselves, and with God.
Chuck Swindoll, a popular radio preacher, once said,
“I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me, and ninety percent how I react to it.”
A young lady once came to her pastor with a problem.
She said, “I have the meanest, orneriest, most foul-mouthed father-in-law you’ve ever seen, and he lives with us.
Whenever he gets mad, he curses me.
I have not been a Christian very long, and I’ve got a temper of my own.
I’m about ready to let him have it.
What can I do?”
The pastor asked, “What does he like to eat?”
She replied, “Fudge. He likes fudge.”
The pastor said, “The next time he curses you, fix him some fudge.”
About a week later, the father-in-law was sitting in the kitchen when the young lady accidentally splashed some hot food on him.
He began cursing her. However, she remained calm, prepared some fudge, and handed it to him.
At first, he just looked at it.
But after a while, a big tear dripped off his cheek and splashed onto the plate of fudge.
Then he put his arms around his daughter-in-law and said, “Daughter, I want you to forgive a mean, ugly, old man.”
This woman had the joy of leading her angry, ornery father-in-law to the Lord right there in her kitchen.
Why? Because she exhibited a loving attitude.
Do you need to correct your attitude today?
Change your attitude, and you can change your world.
“A man’s life is what his thoughts make it.”
Marcus Aurelius | ||||||

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
