"Will We Be Masters Or Victims?"

We are either masters or victims of our attitudes. Our attitudes will either make or break us, heal or hurt us, bring happiness or misery, success or failure. Who we are today is the result of the choices we made yesterday, and we will become tomorrow what we choose today. If we want to truly change, we’ll have to “choose” to change.

With the above thoughts in mind, the following are some practical thoughts with regard to our attitude:

Be an ambassador of good works to every person we meet (Proverbs 25:11). By an act of our will, let us fill our mind with what is positive (Philippians 4:8). Never surrender to negative emotions (Ephesians 4:31-32). Practice the principle of replacement. Let us replace anger with love and fear with faith (2 Timothy 1:7; Romans 1:16; Hebrews 11:6).

Negate the suggestive and immoral from our minds (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Let us keep our minds clean and pure by fellowship with our fellow Christians and with God (Romans 12:10; 1 John 1:7). Let us see the good in others (John 1:47). Determine to carry an attitude of love and good will toward others (Philippians 2:1-4). Practice positive prayer (Mark 11:24; James 1:5-6).

Dear reader, "Will we be masters or victims?"

The choice is always ours (Joshua 24:14-15).
