Attitudes/Answers with Olen Baker: Recent Episodes
Olen C. Baker MDiv, LPC
Facing, rather than denying a situation exists is the first step of changing direction. From a problem, to a solution. So, how do you address issues in your life?
Yeah, we will all face storms, health issues and days that seem overwhelming. Gratitude is optimism and hope for the future, even when it seems like tomorrow will never come. But it always does.
God never promised a life void of troubles. He did give us his promise comfort when the hassles of life cause pain and trouble. That's a realistic promise you can count on.
Life sometimes gets in the way of our appreciation of what God has provided. When that happens, take a step back and reflect simply on what He did for us.
We love to be rewarded for expressions of hard work, and doing good deeds. It's never a quick $20 for helping someone stranded on the side of the road. Your rewards come much later. Be patient.
Self-made...not really. God-made...really. People in our lives give us an assist in life and that assist is also God related, even when it comes from a good friend. God uses others in our lives to make that happen...really.
When privilege is applied to relationships, expressions of gratitude may be replaced by demands. Don't let yourself be put into that position. Keep it simple, and keep your eyes focused on God.
You might not have all you want, but the key is being contented with what God provides. It's not about more, it's more about what you need.
And that need is always taken care of, isn't it?
The answer is, yes. A simple "thank you". A gesture of looking beyond self, and focusing on others. School teaches the stuff they need to succeed, but YOU are the teacher of gratitude.
Parents mistakenly believe that children feel worthwhile if they have everything they want. As parents we do our best, but understanding that giving them everything has a polar opposite effect. Have you ever had that challenge?
It's all about an attitude of gratitude. The little things like your first cup of coffee, your toothbrush and the mirror that helps you prepare for the day are all provisions from God. Little things that make a big difference.
It isn't easy maintaining an attitude of thanksgiving, because we need or want so much. Here's a start. Start by counting your blessings and let the good feelings come your way. It's true.
Gratitude is a simple act, really. Focus on God's love, mercy, and goodness. Nothing more, nothing less.
Like the song says "grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep". Not so easy to do, is it?
Worry is like a speed bump and we see what can go wrong. Worry distorts reality. By trusting God, because he is on your side, whatever the needs are, a solution will be provided. It's true.
Indifference indicates an attitude of apathy or lack of feelings. God did not design you to fail or suffer mediocrity. Trust his word to pull you back and redirect your life.
Indifference is dangerous because it can quickly become permanent. God is willing to give you a fresh start, with a clean heart. All you have to do is ask.
Procrastination has the power to blunt your conscience. With that, guilt and shame looses its intensity. Ask God to replace indifference with a renewed love for Jesus Christ.
Did you ever not feel guilty for failing to be responsible? God's message is, confess, repent, seek forgiveness and make amends. Sounds simple, but it's not always easy.
Wait for it...procrastination leads to failure and disaster. Purpose, through God can turn things around...today.
"Tomorrow, every fault will be corrected, yet tomorrow never comes." The words of Benjamin Franklin. Smart guy. How about you. Does something need to be done...today?
Time, your time, is a gift from God. It is written, "there is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the sun". So, let every minute become a precious gift. Use it wisely and you will be richly blessed.
Simply, when we procrastinate, we stumble what could be the conduit for our success. What do you need to do right now, today, the get that path to success in motion?
Good habits are beneficial. Bad habits can be a stumbling block to your walk with God. Bad habits are like darkness. Jesus, the light of the world can get you on the right path.
Think about the things you do on a regular basis. Include the good stuff and the not so good stuff. The Bible says " if a man is lazy, his rafters sag, and if his hands are idle, his roof leaks". Time to get up and do something positive and necessary.
W.C. Fields was quoted as saying, "I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally." Have you considered how you learned prejudice? Beyond that, have you considered moving to a better place?
There are good habits and bad habits. One of the most destructive habits humans acquire, is being prejudice. That and other harmful habits can be destructive to the family's peace. Are you fighting that habit?
Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny. Habits are necessary and when they align with what God has in store for our lives, those good habits provide a pathway for hope and a purposeful life. What good habits have you established?
Habits are part of our life. Second nature for everyone. Breaking those habits that are harmful can be tough. God can help move those bad habits, to good habits that bring peace and hope. Listen and learn how.
Being truthful. For most, it's part of who we are. For others, it's simply not possible, because they have built a path so deep and dark that lying becomes a perceived truth. Is that where you are, today. Listen and learn how to change that.
The power to break bad habits comes from permitting Jesus Christ to create in you, a new way of thinking and has control over the old thought patterns. You DO have the power to make that happen.
Have you be against the cutting edge of a powerful, embarrassing habit that is hard to break? Habit start out as cobwebs and turn into shackles. God has the power to help break those habits.
A bad habit can be what causes pain and suffering. It might not be alcohol, tobacco, or food. The power of a habit, either good or bad, will shape who we are and determine our future, God has the power to help us move to good habits that align with his purpose for our lives.
What makes bad habits hard to break is they are often welcomes, enjoyed and even believed to be beneficial. Bad habits have power over you. God has the power to help you remove and replace those with good habits that align with his wish for our lives.
Nurturing, not an easy task. It provides reassurance in situations that appear hopeless. It rises above anger and revenge. Do you have a tough time nurturing someone else? Listen and discover how to be better at nurturing.
Criticism and fault-finding is an unproductive method of changing someone's behavior. It is also hurtful and emotionally damaging. Is that how you approach someone? Listen and find out how to be better at building up someone.
Compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. These are all attributes of nurturing. With these, nurturing is possible.
When God for gives us he completely forgets our sins. Sometimes we have a tough time following his lead. Is that hard for you, as well?
Resisting temptation. You've been there. You also might know someone who is there right now. Are you able to help them?
Freedom to choose is a privilege, but it may result in painful consequences. Enduring temptation is winning over bad choices, with great rewards.
Sin's consequences cannot compete with the faith that clings to God's love. Temptation is powerless when God is at the center of your decision.
Weak? You bet we're weak. That's why God's word is so important in our day to day decisions. Are you engaging in conversation with Him?
Take the easy way, or take the road to the cross? That's a pretty serious challenge, UNLESS you are listening to the ONE who understands what the right path is.
What's more important in this equation is what God has placed before you. If you can tune into that, the rest is something you can move toward with confidence.
We love our routines and when they are disrupted we often times have a tough time stepping up to the challenge. How do you confront a challenge?
When I am afraid, I put my confidence in you. Imagine how had it is making life adjustments when the YOU is missing?
Wasted days and wasted nights. Ever hear that song? A life committed to Christ doesn't ever experience that. Isn't that amazing?
We have a job to do. We have things to accomplish. But sometimes life throws us a few speed bumps. That's also a wake up call.
The purpose God designed for you has eternal value. Are you tuned into what God had in mind for you?
Attitudes are linked to values. How you feel about yourself and your life impacts other lives. Are you on track with a good attitude?
Jesus counts you as his friend. Jesus also counts on you to discover how to do the things in life that change other peoples lives.
It's important to believe that God has a purpose for every one on earth. Yeah, you were created for a special purpose. Have you discovered what that is?
Think outside the box for a moment, or outside of your personal needs. That's where God want's us to exist.
The Civil War's purpose was to end slavery. Our nation needed a new identity under God. Did you hear that? A new identity under God. And so do we.
Life can get a bit altered. It keeps things interesting, for sure, but if you're not tuned into God, you just might miss what He has in store.
We work, to put food on the table and care for our families. But beyond that, our purpose on earth is much deeper. Have you ever thought about your purpose?
Your heart is the seat of all behavior, both good and bad. A clean heart speaks no lies or deception. A clean heart is focused on Jesus.
It's pretty simple but many times, not so simple. Changing what's in your your heart is a direct benefit of the words you speak. Sticks and stones is a true statement, isn't it?
Our behaviors affect others. Good behaviors and bad behaviors. A clean heart gives us a clear conscience and a path free of conflict.
Careless choices bring bad consequences. Sometimes we discover that we've taken a wrong turn. Good thing, God can get us back on the right path.
Knowing what's right is like deep water in the heart. A wise person draws from a deep well. That well is the word of God.
Values keep us focused on what's right. A lack of values is a slippery road with a sign that says "dead end". How are you traveling through life?
God always warns us of the dangers of sin and going astray. It's time to pay closer attention.
If you know your life is out of balance, why are you having issues with changing direction. Not an easy question to answer, is it?
What you do in life, benefits others. Hopefully that's true for you. Anger and hatred destroys bridges. Confidence and integrity builds ones with a sturdy foundation.
Wisdom and understanding provide a strong foundation for making decisions to be honored and blessed by God. Look only to God for that wisdom.
Hard work, brutal honesty, and changes in thinking patterns. A tough pill to swallow. With God's help, it's much easier.
God makes it possible for us to correct mistakes, bad behaviors and faulty thinking. Have you ever desired a fresh start?
The key to keeping a promise is being absolutely confident that God will bless and honor it. That's where you start, with God at the center of the conversation.
Confidence, like I can do all things through Christ Jesus, helps us see tomorrow as an opportunity. How confident are you?
A new passion for turning over a leaf with purpose and direction can only be found in Jesus Christ.
Old thinking patterns, old habits. Never easy to get out of that rut. The key is being firm in your commitment.
We only have so much time here on earth. And that's okay IF we use that time how God want's us to.
Conviction, determination, wisdom and power can craft positive motion in our lives. That power always comes from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Going shopping is exciting, we all get that. But what about after the sale. Were our expectations higher than we realized? So, now what?
To get past hurt and begin to heal, we need to look at our situation from God's perspective. Not always easy, but always necessary.
Tough to listen to, but if you focus on the word of God, the conversation becomes easier to understand, and accept. How about you? Having trouble with that?
If you walk in my statutes and keep them, I will bless you with peace. What a promise, what a gift.
The Jesus movement, shalom, was born out of the turbulent 60's and 70's. It takes us from an uncomfortable place to a place where we can live each day in peace.
Peace is the only source for sustaining happiness, yet enticements abound that promise to satisfy our yearning for happiness. How about your peaceful place, is it strong?
With Jesus as your banner, he provides the necessary armor for you to approach each day with success as your goal. Consider starting your day, every day, with those thoughts and actions.
During The American Civil War, each side had a clear identity. These banners were a rallying symbol that inspired them onward with resolve to win. Are you flying your banner?
The Lord God, your God is constantly on guard to protect and strengthen those who love him and are committed to him. How safe do you feel?

The Holy Spirit sets you apart and on a new direction for a new life in Christ. It may be instant, or it may take some time. That's okay, as long as you discover the opportunity and the way.
Ann Frank wrote, we can be at peace when we're thankful for what God continues to provide. Having a stressed day? Take a look around you and discover what God has given you.
He who is not thankful for what he has will never be happy with what else he acquires. Simplicity, that's the key.
You've got what you need, most of the time. But what about those things you really want? How do you stay thankful without being unrealistic about needs.
Jesus came into the world to heal moral sickness. What a wonderful and powerful thing to have by our side.
Good health depends on making intelligent decisions. Many times those are tough decisions, even when we know the outcome of not changing. Have you ever had trouble doing that?

The Bible is full of love stories. How about your life? Is it filled with content, or discontent?
God does not promise to provide everything we want. His will is always unsurpassed. Are you good with that?
Health, relationships, money, unresolved anger? It's time to present your needs to God. Do you know how?

God sees and knows your secrets and doesn't miss a move you make. Because He loves you, he wants to help.
We all have important people in our lives. Our parents, teachers, and physicians. But is should be God most high as number one on your list.
There are challenges around every corner. The good news is that God is there to help. The most important thing, is how you communicate that need.
We often fail to remember that God is high and lifted above every name and object that we value and prize. Is that how you see it?
Adam proclaimed, when he first saw Eve. "This is bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh". Adam understood the order of life, and the importance of believing that God IS the creator of life. Do you?

Obsessive, negative thinking has the power to take a person prisoner and harm a relationship. Have you ever been in that place?
Here's something you don't have to do at the gym. Train yourself to love God with all your heart, your soul, your strength and...your mind.
Whatever your mind can conceive, you are potentially capable of achieving. Wow, that's pretty powerful. Are you a big thinker?
Our minds are the forerunner for Godly endeavors. Let your mind be fixed on WWJD in all you do.
Everything we do including every thought and spoken word is fashioned by the mind. God's command, love Him with our entire mind. Not an easy task, is it?
When God gave the mind its place and power, He was aware of how it would effect the way we function. Sometimes our mind needs a reboot.
When pain reaches a certain level, we head to the doctor. In a demanding situation, God is where we need to go. It's your 911 call.

Do you experience gratitude for God's love? It's important and essential to achieve what He want's us to be.
Stand firm when facing trouble and do it with conviction. Place your trust in Christ Jesus and conviction becomes easier to accomplish.
Conviction, determination, no excuses, not retreating an inch. This is a direct command from God - to love Him with all of our strength.
To love God with all you are physically capable of, then coupling that with a strong conviction and determination, brings you closer to to Him. Are you up to the challenge?
When confidence fades and hardships prevail, there is only one way to turn. Let quietness and confidence in God be your strength.
When we've done all we can do, we turn to God for strength and wait for his purpose to be revealed. That's a tough place to be. How would you handle it?
Strength is renewed by faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. It doesn't come from a session at your favorite gym. So, how strong are you?
God's love satisfies the soul like nothing can do. And it's your responsibility to surrender yourself to him. Do you know how to do that?
Our conscience is the voice of our soul. His desire is for your soul to be vibrant, healthy, and thriving.
Saturated with God's love. Doesn't that sound like something you would like to have. Like a sponge saturated with water. Are you thirsty?
Love is tough. It can be wounded, yet restored within the bounds of forgiveness. So here's the question, have you given God your absolute best every day?
With all of our heart, our soul, our strength and mind. To love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Do you ever find that a challenge in your life?
A gentle nudge, or sometimes a loud reminder. How about your stage in life? Put absolutely nothing before God.
We were designed for growth and change with each stage of our life. If we're not careful, life can become mundane and absent of passion for God. What about your life?
Your home, your truck, your pet, your children. Sure, good to know, but what about true love that is focused on God. Are you there?
It's never easy reaching beyond what feels comfortable. But pure love requires that we do that. How about you?

Faith is a bridge, over the realities and complexities of life. Without faith, we cannot cross the daily challenges of life.
On the road, we're alert for any dangers that might be in our path. In our daily life, we need to be alert and ready to declare our faith.
Pursuing righteousness and godliness is how we should live our lives. Is it always easy? No, but with a focus on fighting the good fight, it becomes possible.

If a need transforms into a demand, resentment quickly follows. Understand that what WE feel we need, and what God understands is that need, may not be what we want to hear. So, who are you listening to?

It's impossible to hide your thoughts from God. Secret, sinful thoughts can be a hope crusher when they are unconfessed and unforgiven. God is the path to restoration.
It's true. Those who live outside Christian values, reside in a place of uncertainty and darkness. Believing and entrusting our lives into God's protection and provision give us a safe place to exist. So, where do you live?
God's word tells us, if we confess our sins, He forgives and cleanses us. Confession is the beginning of good works.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Exercise your faith to bring hope into your daily life.
We live in a time of uncertainty, so the natural response is to become self-protective an that grows anxiety and anger. Instead of focusing on you, turn your eyes to God, and find peace.
Wait for Him. He never arrives late. When hope is your hiding place, the troubles of life cannot defeat you.
When a memory from the past renew sorrow and grief in you, recall the compassion of God and rejoice in his comfort and hope.
Setting boundaries helps us to curb carelessness. We need that element in our lives. Hope believes that there are solutions to life's hardships. How about you? What boundaries have you set?
A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plan, and a time to harvest. We cope with change on a daily basis, but with hope, we better understand that change can also build our spiritual character. Do you have hope?
The majority of human beings are capable of possessing hope. Hope is there for you, if you choose to discover it.
Hope inspires endurance. Even when grief impacts the human spirit, hope makes it possible to endure and move beyond the darkness. Let hope be your light.
It's true, terrible things happen to good people. Christ Jesus can help you move through even the most difficult times. He is first, last and always, our hope.
The rain falls on the deserving and the undeserving. You've seen that happen. Our behaviors and attitudes influence what happens. But hope that is not allowed to fade, even on the rainy days, brings a new day filled with His love.
Hope is motivation for staying on track and staying in focus. Hope for our future involves preparation. Hope centered in Jesus Christ is where you start.
God knows your children much better than you do. What is right and good for them. God also knows how to help you better understand the big picture. Place your hope in Him.
Vain expectations and false hope. To achieve success, we need to realistically look at where we are and where we want to go. This is a delicate balance of what God sees for us, and what we believe we should get. Are you hopeful?
Paul writes, "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer". Not always an easy thing to do, but it is essential and possible when your hope is centered on Jesus.
The human spirit is difficult to oppress, because our ability to be hopeful is always present. Even on the darkest of nights. Those who hope in the Lord can use His light to make that happen.
We are people. We fall short of who we can and should be. But by God's mercy and kindness, we can go forward to fulfill His purpose for us. Today is the day we can start.
God's word provides strength for meeting every challenge, every day. Go in search for what you have hidden away from the light of God's forgiveness. Today is a good day to start.
What you need and what you want are two totally different concepts. The big difference is that God's promise is to always fulfill our needs. Do you know how to start that conversation?
Here's the cool part. God has a way of making the impossible, possible. Would you like some of that for the New Year?
Its time to quiet conflict in your life and bring healing healing and peace in your heart and mind. That's not always the easiest thing to do. But one place to start is in prayer. Not an easy task, but necessary if you want the new year to be one that brings better things your way.
Building a foundation for anything, a home, your life, has to begin on solid ground. A solid foundation for everyone of us needs the element of Faith to establish strength. Let's go build a great year in your life, right now.
On this Christmas Day there will be good food, good conversation, and maybe a classic Christmas movie. But let's not forget the reason for this day. The ONE gift that arrived without much fanfare. The most important gift of all.
What you are facing on this day before Christmas is what Jesus wants to help you with, by giving you strength to endure it. Go ahead, and open your gift.
Some gifts are returnable. Other's are forgotten. But the gift from God is one that you should always keep close to your heart.
Jesus said: "I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give." This gift doesn't get delivered, or come in a box under the Christmas tree. And this gift can be accepted anytime you want.
Chaos and hardships are a part of everyone's lives. The good news is that God sent his son to be our savior. What a wonderful gift.
Hope is an anchor that holds fast when the storms of life try to capsize and drown your objectives. Hope anchored in Jesus Christ is a safe harbor that never disappoints.
Forget what is behind you. Rather, look at what's ahead with hope and confidence. That's what God want's us to do.
Without hope and confidence, we perceive problems and issues in our lives to be out of control. But God has given us a promise to empower us with endurance, courage and wisdom. Have you accepted that gift?
Be strong and courageous. Not always an easy thing to do, or is it? With the strength and power of the Holy Spirit it becomes reality.
Disappointment can put us in a place of despondency. But the good news is, God is right there with us, encouraging us to have hope. Question is, are you listening?
Disappointments are not a great place to be, because they build a bridge to disenchantment and disillusionment. With God, they build a bridge to insight on how to prevent future problems and failure. What path would you choose?
God gives each of us the power to face whatever the future holds. God's presence gives us endurance of his faithfulness. Have you leaned on God to help you through a crisis?
Most disappointments show up without warning. Moses faced disappointment, but he did not believe that God had abandoned him. The bridge over disappointment is stronger and essential when God is the foundation.
You know, it IS possible to face the future without becoming angry or disillusioned. Moses knew that and his words can also help you find that bridge over a crisis.
God holds us accountable for our thoughts and actions. But if we believe and trust in Him, our relationship becomes a bridge to forgiveness and redemption. Do you believe?
God can open our mind to the truth, and that gives us the courage to change. Think about the last time you paid the price for what you "thought" was a good choice but it turned out to be a false assumption.
It's not at all unusual to fantasize about life from our perspective. But those fantasies can and will lead us down a path of pain and regret. So, how is your journey going so far?
When we believe we have the power over issues that come in our path, we quickly find that those issues are not as easy to manage as we think. So, we try to rationalize our way around them. That's not possible, without a little assist from God.
Have you ever been overwhelmed by fear and anxiety? You're not alone. Self-deception is easily overcome by your faith in God's promise to lend a hand when uncertainties abound. That's good news, isn't it?
Stiff necked and bent toward evil. Sure would hate to be that person. So how about it, how do you look at transformation? If it's through the eyes of God, it's an easier option.
Kindness, compassion, forgiveness, direction, and the boundaries that give each of us the best course for living a life that is directly connected to God's will. A list of the 10 things you can do today, to prepare for tomorrow.
We all need a pat on the back when we are faced with uncertainty about our direction. Good news is, God can give you that pat, through words of encouragement. Get connected and keep the conversation going, so you can too.
Frankly, sometimes we question God's intent for us. We're no different than Moses. Just reach out to God when you see a dead end, and you'll find that believing in his word will give you clear direction and confidence.
It's true, we all fall short of a new beginning. The good news is, God is right beside you to give you a new start, a new attitude, and a new plan of action. Question is, are you listening?
Here's a simple fact. As difficult as it is to forgive, it's the only way to achieve peace and receive God's promise. Let go of your anger, and look to God to help you achieve this.
You can't carry the worship of false idols and expect good things to happen in your future. But it's not always easy to completely understand why that has to happen. God gives direction and will help you move beyond the past.
Bad judgement always leads to sin. And we are all guilty of making bad decisions. Good news is, God is right there to give you forgiveness. Just ask.
We are all faced with decisions, and every time we find ourselves wondering "what if", what if I go down that path, what if I miss a golden opportunity, what if I regret my decision. Erase the what if's with a conversation with GOD. HE has all the answers.
We all make mistakes, yeah, every one of us. But with each misjudgment comes hope for a new beginning. GOD gives us the courage to face our mistakes and HE provides us with opportunities for wiser choices.
Experience is a guide to future decisions. Some of us don't focus on prior experience to change our behaviors, and as a result, we experience the same unfortunate outcomes. Good thing GOD understands how we can change that scenario.
Dedicating your body, mind and soul to Christ Jesus takes true faith in HIS word. You can't do it without true and complete dedication. Have you prepared for that journey?
New beginnings come with a little extra. They're called unexpected challenges, and that can be a game changer. Good news is, GOD is right there to give an assist.
Face it, we don't like it when someone else has an opinion of what we should be doing. That's because we can't see our situation clearly. That's the cool part about our relationship with GOD. HE does see what needs to be changed. Question is, will we listen?
Wow, changing what we know and are comfortable with for something that GOD has in mind isn't always an easy transition. Being open to HIS word is an essential part of your journey. Are you okay with that?
GOD follows through with each and every one of us, with good appropriate solutions. Tune HIM in when you need some great advice.
Building a dream job, building a dream home, building a dream relationship, all come with the unexpected bumps and bruises. How do you find solutions?
Sure, we're sometimes afraid to move forward, and that's okay. Just take a moment to center yourself on GOD and let HIS wisdom and guidance pull you to a better place.
Every journey has a few bumps along the way. Good thing, GOD will never abandon us, even when the tough times cross our path.
Complacency is not good. It gets us nowhere. Being too optimistic can also be a scary place to go. Fantasies can come crashing down. If you keep your eyes fixed on GOD, you will find the balance you need to move ahead.
GOD has a plan for every second of our lives. Following HIS direction brings us to a place of security and peace that endures forever.
Yearning for a new beginning often comes from within us, because of unhappiness or boredom. GOD understands those emotions, but HIS plan for us, sometimes takes us outside of our "safe place".
Leaving behind what no longer fits into GOD's plan is a challenge, because we don't see it as HE does.
Hardships, uncomfortable feelings, and anxiety are all part of new beginnings. But when GOD is your director, you will find that starting that journey becomes a lot easier.
Be honest, you have questioned GOD's judgement, right? Why? GOD doesn't take you places you shouldn't go.
Something new, someplace new, sometimes create anxiety, because we really don't know what's ahead. And honestly, some experiences can deliver more than we can handle. Good news is, GOD is there right by our side. Is HE there with you, right now?
Antagonism and hatred put us in a place of isolation. Good new is, God's wisdom and kindness can swiftly get us un-stuck. That is, if we take the time to have a conversation with Him.

Pride makes it virtually impossible to admit wrongdoing, which prohibits apologizing and asking for forgiveness. The good news is, pride can be transformed into humility, when we look first to God.

If you're ever in a position where a conflict cannot be resolved between you and another person, enlist a third party to help mediate a solution. Unresolved solutions become platforms for tension to erupt into violence. God gives us the power to stop short of this unfortunate behavior.

Where there is generosity and wisdom, there is neither fear or ignorance. When there is patience and humility there is neither anger or frustration. So, how do you handle life's daily issues?

This is not where you want to be. Making one bad choice after another. It's a formula for disaster. When we are put into a situation where we believe revenge is the only answer, maybe we need to stop and have a conversation with God. God is waiting for us to ask HOW we should proceed. Just ask.

Sampson is a good example of a person that modeled impatience and lack of wisdom in his life. When we ignore God's wisdom we buy a life of struggle and frustration, like Sampson. Letting pride get in the way of a bond with God can only result in negative outcomes. Learn from Sampson and focus your mind on God.

Sometimes when folks get into a situation where the only thing they have left is to have a conversation with God. But what if we made God the top priority in solving our problems? We would find that the response to any issue would be a much smarter one. Stop and think about the time you left a conversation with God last on your communications to-do list.

In our world, whenever we ignore the signs and symptoms of an issue or problem, that problem quickly builds to an inferno. Look at our global health crisis or the fires in California. Did we take the time to discover what might happen, or did we respond a little too late. Think about that, the next time your little problem is bugging you, and stop and talk to God.

Without patience, adjusting our attitudes about pride and passion is just not possible. But if we bond ourselves to a daily walk with God, pride and passion become easier to understand and carry out. Have you ever had to stop what you are doing and do a double check with God?

We all have choices put before us. But when we ignore the wisdom God shows us, sometimes we believe that our way might be a safe choice. And we quickly find out that questioning God, his timing, his judgement and his purpose for us is a bad choice not only for the short term, but the long term. to balance pride and passion, God must be at the center.

Count to 10, walk away, dive in the word of God, BEFORE you dive into a conflict. God's presence, His spirit is always around us and within us. We might choose to ignore that voice of reason, but doing so always ends with negative results. The world gives us challenges. We we choose to address those challenges on our own, we fail every time.

Unhealthy pride and passion cuts us off from the potential God planned for us. Unhealthy pride is something all of us will face and do face on a daily basis. The only thing that will drive us in the right direction is following the word of God. Not second guessing, or looking for an excuse to use our reasoning, but going back to what God would desire for us.

An overabundance of pride can take us to a place of passionate anger that can progress into violence and rage. Rage takes control of our thoughts and actions and is absent of consideration of consequences. Think about how you handle pride. If you're struggling, look to God for guidance.

Failure sometimes spawns the attitude of revenge, which is a bad place to go. Look at your life and discover that at all times, failure is not just one-sided issue. Look in the mirror and learn how you can change behaviors that are contributing to it. Then, ask God to help you overcome those behaviors for a positive result.

Following the rules throughout your life, or not following the rules can lead to building a bridge to failure. On the other hand, those golden rules you were taught as a child are still as important as you build your life story. God intends for us to remember what we were taught, carry it with us daily, and teach it to others. Are you doing that?

Pride is the biggest issue that blocks understanding of failure. Compensation causes us to use excuses rather than understanding how failure can teach us to avoid bad choices, or to make good choices that will prevent failure from being a recurring element in our life. Is there a road block in your life. Pray how God can help you find a better route.

A lack of faith is often linked to failure, meaning we have chosen to avoid God's guidance and proceed with our intentions. We are quickly and sometimes painfully given a negative result. God gives us strength, and if we use that strength to honor Him, we will discover that our choices will result in a positive outcome.

Not all passion is illogical and irrational. The key is to measure passion against Christian values and ethics, and then make a choice based on your answers. Decide before acting whether your passion is for the good of others, not just you. The answer will bring you peace.

Owning irresponsible behavior isn't easy. It is much easier to blame others. In a relationship, we are given the Godly guidelines to establish and maintain a healthy relationship, and if we don't begin with God's word and follow His instructions, we have no one to blame but ourselves

Passion is connected to fulfillment and happiness. It ranges from warm and positive to very negative and destructive. Strong passion has the capacity to distort reality and empower us to make poor decisions. Look to God to temper your passions with good intentions and Godly results.

A superior attitude is an attitude of immaturity. An attitude of immaturity brings with it greed and fear, because the false belief we have is manufactured, and not centered on how God desires for us to live. Check your hat and your attitude at the door and remain humble in your actions every day.

At some point in our lives, we make personal choices about how we respond to life's situations. Hopefully, we have been taught early in life to move in a direction that is pleasing to God. With every choice you make, look first to God and seek the responsible answer and action, for a positive outcome.

When impure motives clash with values the result brings us sorrow and regret, not the benefits we wished for. You might call it a "wake up call" to get yourself in line with what God intends as being the best for us.

Have you ever skipped the most important step in decision making? That first step should always begin with God. Because God understands us, he designed us and our lives to be lived within his time expectations. Don't skip that first important step in everything you do.

The other end of the passion equation is regret and sorrow. That little voice of reason is simply God speaking directly to you and empowering you to make choices in all aspects of our lives based on Biblical reason, not on our earthly desires.
