The Right Attitude (2)
"All things are possible to him who believes." Mark 9:23 NKJV
Demosthenes, who was reputed to be the greatest orator in ancient Greece, had a serious speech impediment. Legend has it that he overcame it by reciting verses with pebbles in his mouth and speaking above the roar of the wave at the seashore. As a prisoner in the Wartburg castle, Martin Luther made use of his time by translating the New Testament into German. Beethoven wrote his greatest symphonic masterpieces after losing his hearing. John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress when he was in prison. Daniel Defoe also wrote in prison, creating Robinson Crusoe. Abraham Lincoln is thought by many to be the best of the United States presidents, but he probably would not have become known as a great leader if he had not led the country through the Civil War. Often, difficult situations seem to be involved in producing great leaders and thinkers. But that is only the case when their attitudes are right. When a problem comes in contact with someone who has the right attitude, the result is often wonderful. Out of great turmoil come great statesmen, businessmen, scientists, educators, pastors, and others. Every challenge is an opportunity, and every opportunity has a challenge. But it's the attitude with which you approach your problem that largely determines the outcome. When a man whose son couldn't hear or speak asked Jesus to heal him, Jesus replied, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes" (v. 23 NKJV). The man replied, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" (v. 24 NKJV). And Jesus did. Plus, He healed the man's son. If you need help with your attitude, talk to the Lord today.
