“Turn my heart toward Your statues and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to Your word.” Psalm 119:36-37 (NIV)

As children, we used to throw a fit and pout in an attempt to get our way. Even as adults some of us try the same tactic. Only this time it’s not our parents but our Father God that we are pouting to. Have you ever clearly felt God directing you towards an action, relationship, or change that you just really didn’t want to do? I definitely have, and I unfortunately can still throw a fit and pout like a little child. The silly thing is, when I finally let God change my attitude and I obeyed, I was very blessed.

Part of our walk with God will be a twisting and turning path. There are going to be times we are perfectly content with the direction we are going and can’t imagine why God would ask us to change. Those changes are opportunities to grow in our spiritual walk and to gain blessings in areas we never could have imagined. So the next time God sends a change of direction to us, we need to remember to stop and ask God to give us the right attitude about the new direction. Going into it willingly will make it more exciting, and we will gain the blessings from the beginning.

“Dear God, Work in our hearts to have the right attitude towards Your will for our lives. Help us to take changes in our walk with You as new opportunities and not obstacles.”

For His Glory
