Topic: ATTITUDE AND COUNTENANCE
Biblical Text: “If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast down”. [Job 29:24]
Attitude is a disposition or state of mind which is expressed through actions taken, posture bearing, tone of voice, facial expression among others. Countenance on the other hand means appearance especially the features and expressions of the face. Job went through a tragic moment in his life losing all his ten children and businesses in one day; yet he maintained a positive attitude influenced by his unshakeable belief in God. His wife and friends spoke negatively to him in order to bring down his countenance but he held on to God, displayed in his attitude and expressed by his countenance; even in the most challenging time of his life. God turned Job’s life around and restored everything he had lost. When your attitude is right, your countenance will be right. It is your attitude that controls your countenance. An ungrateful attitude may be expressed by a sad, wicked, gloomy or indifferent countenance. A person that has a proud attitude will likely display a proud countenance. The Bible records that David and Abigail had a beautiful countenance. When Hannah’s attitude changed, the Bible records that her countenance was no more sad and her miracle came, (1 Samuel 1:18). Let God be the backbone behind your attitude that defines the countenance you express.
KNOW IT ∞ Your attitude defines the countenance you express.
READ IT ∞ Psalm 43:5, 1 Samuel 16:12, 25:3
PRAY IT ∞ Father, I receive grace for my attitude and countenance to reflect you O Lord in Jesus Name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Luke 1-3
