Growing up my parents would threaten us with an "attitude adjustment" which we were clear in understanding. It was a whooping. Not a spanking, a whooping. If you have ever had both of these you clearly know the difference.
When I saw that we were reading Leviticus I was not very excited. I haven't really read much of this book but I have read some and it always seemed really odd and confusing.
Reading Chapter 1 last night was really interesting. I guess I had never had the attitude that I wanted to see what God had for me while reading this book. I experienced a different kind of attitude adjustment here.
God wants our very best. He wants our tithe, our good attitudes, our willingness to serve him...the list can go on and on.
I know that I am guilty of giving him less than my very best.
I am going to work on giving my heart and attitude adjustment today. I am going to look at the opportunities I am currently involved in to serve him as a blessing, not another thing on my to-do list to check off.
I am so thankful that he loves me and forgives me each time I fall short. Everyday.
Lord, thank you for ALL of your word and not just the books we love to read. Thank you for challenging me this month with the study on Leviticus. Open my heart and my mind to receive what you would have me to take away from these readings. Lord thank you for the heart adjustment that I know will come from reading these words. Help me to give you my first, my best , and an attitude that is pleasing unto you and forgive me when I fall short. -Amen
