The right attitudes


Without discipline you cannot go far in life. You need direction, commitment, discipline and perseverance. Most of these attitudes don’t come naturally. It requires surrendering yourself to the cause, and often, to deny yourself instant gratifications in the view of a long time goal. Trusting your riches or pride could be the pathway to a downfall. Trusting in God and being humble will give you God’s recognition, which is the most important approval you can get.

Slack habits and sloppy work
   are as bad as vandalism.
10 God’s name is a place of protection—
   good people can run there and be safe.
11 The rich think their wealth protects them;
   they imagine themselves safe behind it.
12 Pride first, then the crash,
   but humility is precursor to honor.
(Prov.18:9-12 MSG)

Prayer: Help me to discipline myself. Let me avoid careless work. I want to be careful and do with excellence whatever I do. Show me direction to help me to choose the right path, trusting in You and being humble.
