After a good deal of complaining a change begins in the way Asaph saw his situation. Verses 10-12 express how the change unfolds. “And I said, ‘This is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the works of the Lord; surely I will …
Many people today face trouble with the same attitude of unbelief as Asaph because they are not really familiar with God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Let’s look at what Asaph said from Psalm 77: “Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? Has His mercy ceased …
Jesus said, “Change your attitude and actions because an invasion of the Spirit is imminent” (Matthew 4:17 BCJ). The Spirit of God has invaded this natural world with His power and His love. We can embrace that invading force and become a part of His plan to influence this generation. Our attitude determines how much …
It has been said many times that our attitude will determine our altitude. And that we will set the course for how high we will fly and how far we will go by the attitude we take. In flying an airplane, the attitude is the position of the aircraft in relationship to the horizon. A …
One of the greatest stories of triumph over a seemingly impossible barrier was when Joshua led Israel into the land of promise and to the city of Jericho. This was a city that was the most fortified city in the land. It seemed that there was no way to penetrate the walls of Jericho or …

Failure begins by saying, “I quit.” Thomas Edison tried 10,000 experiments on one idea—none of which produced the results he wanted. Yet he refused to accept failure. Edison said, …
Attitudes, not circumstances make the difference for those who overcome even the toughest situations. God made us to be winners. And we will be as long as we choose to nurture an attitude that releases the power of God instead of one that keeps us confined to fear and failure. Possibly the most powerful statement …
One of the most dangerous conditions of the heart is offense. Offense will distract us from our God-given course. David said: “Give ear to my prayer, O God; and do not hide Yourself from my supplication. Give heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted, because of …
Our first priority is to focus on the task which God has assigned to us, whatever it is. Then, we must make frequent “checks” along the way. We must be certain that we have not allowed something that is second or third in importance, take first place. We must pay close attention to what we …
