A Success Attitude

"And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. " Exodus 4:31-KJV

I couldn't leave that verse.  In my personal, devotional time my eyes sped on to chapter 5 of Exodus, but my mind was locked onto the last verse of chapter 4.  So I returned to it and meditated on it.

The Holy Spirit was speaking to me about how I respond when the Lord looks upon my troubles, acting in love, with compassion to relieve my distress.

Do not take it for granted, the Spirit of God impressed on me.  Stop to worship the God of grace.  Be grateful, not just for a moment, but as a mindset. 

I am convinced, by knowledge that comes from learning and wisdom that comes from experience, that a worshipful and grateful attitude toward God is essential to my aspirations to succeed in my endeavors.

I have observed, often and with sadness, that people miss the very answer and solution they seek because they are not looking at it through the lens of gratitude.

"Worship the Lord with gladness; give thanks to him and bless his name.  For the Lord is good, his faithfulness is forever, and his love is passed on from generation to generation."  (Psalm 100 - my paraphrase).  Succeed where it counts.
