I am sure you
have heard the saying that, “One’s attitude determines altitude.” In order
words, your attitude determines how far you go in life. One of such attitude
that is key is the attitude of faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11:1 KJV) The attitude of faith is
that attitude that says, even though it is not existing in the physical yet, I can
still see it with my eyes of faith because it is there.
In 2 Chron
20, the Moabites and Ammonites rose against Jehoshaphat to battle. Bible says
Jehoshaphat was so fearful that he had to proclaim a fast in the land. In verse
17, the word of the Lord came that, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle:
set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O
Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them:
for the LORD will be with you.” Jehoshaphat had the choice of fidgeting, but
instead his attitude of faith got him and the people of Judah that victory
without having to lift any sword.
In Joshua 6,
there was an instruction that the people should just shout and the wall of
Jericho would collapse. Ordinarily and humanly speaking, this was impossible. I
am so sure the people of Israel understood this as well, however, they understood
that the principle of faith is such that you have to believe before you can
receive, which was why they had such attitude of faith to have believed that
mere shouting would bring down a city wall.
No matter
what you are going through, always have that positive attitude of faith that
all will be well and things will work out for your own good, because an
attitude of faith sets the ground for God to step into action.
Remain
blessed and lifted!
