CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE
Today's reading: Job 19-20

"I warn you, you yourselves are in danger of punishment for your attitude. Then you will know that there is judgement." Job 19:29 NLT

Maybe you don't struggle with it.

Quite possibly you've never had to check yours with the Lord.

I will venture a guess that you have no idea what some of us deal with on a daily basis.

Stinky attitudes.

It's a real problem.

It's a weed seed that once sprouted, is very hard to prune or remove from the garden of your heart.

It's something the world likes us to believe we have a right to carry with us like a badge.

It has marked some of us with scarlet A's for 'attitude', so much so that people walk gingerly around us...widely around us.

Our attitude determines what comes out of our mouths, how we go about doing most anything we are asked to do and sometimes makes us feel at liberty to provide a running commentary of our feelings--good or bad, about any given topic whether we are asked or not.

But Job this morning reminds me that there is punishment involved for maintaining a stinky attitude.

I think I need that reminder!
