ATTITUDE OF FAITH

July 17, 2014


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!
