Keep The Right Perspective
Joel OsteenAbout this sermon
The Bible tells us to constantly “be made new in the attitude of your minds” (Ephesians 4:23). We choose the way we see life, whether we will be grateful or negative about what we think is good and not good. Your attitude has a direct correlation with your success. Someone with a good attitude sees solutions and feels as though they can tackle anything. How you see your life makes all the difference in the world!

Amen. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.320 So how's your outlook on life today? You get up 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.240 this morning ready to embrace the day. I believe that 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.520 you did. But you know, there's too many people that 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:12.120 allow their circumstance to dictate their attitude. They don't even 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.519 realize that their attitude is a choice that they make 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.760 every single day. See, the Bible tells us to consistently 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:28.320 and constantly put on this fresh new mental attitude. See, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.119 we choose the way we see life. We can either 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.520 look at what's good in life and decide to be 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.560 grateful about that, or we can look at what didn't 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.440 work out and how things didn't go our way and 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.840 allow it to give us a negative perspective on life. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.120 We've all heard that saying the glass half full or 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.880 the glass half empty. You see that saying is so 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.240 timeless because it makes such an amazing point. See, the 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.360 water in the glass is the same amount. It's just 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.120 how one chooses to see the water that makes all 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.680 the difference in the world. I know this girl that 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.160 kind of always had a bend towards negative. You could 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.480 ask her how you doing today, and it was almost funny. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280 You could predict she was going to start telling you 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.600 the things that were going wrong in her life. One day, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.960 she said, Oh, I was late to work. I had 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.240 to take my children to the doctor. The doctor didn't 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.280 open till nine o'clock. She said, Now I have to 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.720 stay late at the office because there's so much work 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.720 for me to do. And you know, you're listening to 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.440 this and it almost makes you grin because you're thinking 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.800 you're kidding, right. Then she goes on to say, my 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.280 house is a disaster when I get home late from work. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.080 My husband doesn't know how to work the vacuum cleaner, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.360 he doesn't know to how to work the dishwasher, on 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.400 and on. And you know, when you listen to this, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.680 you realize, you know what, she probably got a pretty 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.800 good husband. In fact, I know her husband, and he's 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.280 a good man. He has a good job, he works hard, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.280 he loves to take the kids out on Saturdays, and 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.520 she can have the whole house to herself. But instead 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.120 of looking at the richness in her life, she chooses 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.440 to look at the negative. And when you begin to 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.159 focus on the negative, you know what you see more negative. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.800 And when you see this negative, it's like swimming against 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:30.119 the current. It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.760 I believe that we need to learn how to manage 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.720 our thoughts. We need to learn how to rearrange our 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.760 thoughts so that we can literally see what we have 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.200 and then enjoy what we have. The other day, I 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.839 walked past one room in my house. It's my living room, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.680 and sometimes when I go in there, I think I 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.599 don't like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.039 I wish I could just get rid of all this 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:58.240 furniture and start over. That would be so amazing. I 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.800 all found myself walking by the passed the room several times, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800 you know, as the days went on, and looking in 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.080 there and having just really negative attitude towards that room, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.840 almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.640 to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.680 better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.040 I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.159 of the couch. How many of you women to pulling 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.320 that couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.680 I finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.560 that room and I thought, I like this room. This 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.159 looks really good. I went and got myself a cup 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.160 of tea, sat on the couch. I thought, I've never 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.279 seen that piece of furniture from that perspective. That really 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.640 looks good. The way that curves are around there. You see, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.760 I was able to have a fresh new attitude about 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.480 that room. I was able to see it differently because 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.880 I rearranged it and just the way I I rearranged 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.840 my furniture. We need to rearrange our thoughts. We need 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.400 to push our thoughts around so our thoughts don't push 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.760 us around. You know, when you get down and discouraged, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.840 you need to recognize what it is and you need 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.560 to stop and think what am I thinking about? And 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.080 I think oftentimes we need to rearrange our thoughts in 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.880 simple ways. One, we need to be grateful, but sometimes 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.839 we just need to change the atmosphere that we're in. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.880 Have you ever been working in the office and you're 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.400 you're tired, and you think, you know what I just 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.880 need to break? Maybe you need to walk outside and 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.919 begin to look at the trees and the sunshine and 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.039 the sky, and the buds on the flower, the texture 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.800 of the bark, and begin to just say, isn't that 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.680 beautiful what God has created? To just stop and think 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.560 about something differently, you see. I believe sometimes if we'll 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.400 simply just change our routine, maybe there's some things that 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.120 we're doing that we need to not be doing anymore. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.800 A friend of mine said that every day she would 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.719 go out to lunch with the same group of people, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.920 and she loved her friends and all, but when she 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.320 got back to work, it was just like, oh man, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.240 I've got half a day to go. She made this 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.000 conscious decision. She said, you know, I don't like the 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.000 way I'm feeling about my job. How I'm just being 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.000 so mundane about it. She said, I'm going to choose 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.360 a few new people to go to lunch with. So 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.440 she looked around her office and she asked some different 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.640 people to go to lunch with her. In fact, she 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.480 got a new little group, and she said, I had 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.239 so much fun just getting in a new group of people, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.760 listening to their ideas, their jokes, the way they were. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.600 She said, I came back to work and she said, 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.280 I had a new perspective. I was ready to tackle 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:54.320 that day. It was so refreshing. You see, sometimes we 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.680 just need to get a new outlook on what we 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.640 already have. I heard about this man who was really down, 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.520 he was really discouraged. He went to one of his 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.240 pastors at the church and he told him, he said, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.400 my life is just I just don't have anything good 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.679 going on. My life is just a wreck. The pastor said, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.680 come on into my office and let's just sit down 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.280 and talk a little bit. The pastor pulled out this 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.800 legal pad of paper. He drew a line down the 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.400 center of it, and he said, let's take this little test. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.520 He said, on the right side, I'm going to put 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.680 all your assets, all the things that are good in 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.000 your life. On the left side, I'm going to put 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.199 your challenges, your problems, your disappointments. The man just kind 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.199 of hung his head and he said, you know, I'm 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.640 not going to have anything right in my life. The 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.120 pastor said, let's just go ahead and take the test. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.680 He said, you know, I am so sorry to hear 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.280 that your wife passed away. He looked up and he said, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.920 my wife didn't pass away. She's alive and she's healthy. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.880 He said, really, He wrote on the right side of 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.679 the page, wife alive and healthy. He said, that's a 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.360 shame that your house burnt down. The man looked at 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.160 him and he said, what are you talking about. My 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.760 house didn't burn down. I'm living in my house. He said, oh. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.160 He wrote on the right side of the page, living 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.280 in a house. The man said, where are you getting 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.720 all this ridiculous information. The pastor looked at him, and 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.520 then he wised up and he realized he's trying to 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.280 show me a new perspective, a new way of thinking. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.240 By the time they finished their little session, that man 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.280 had listed several things on the right side of the 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.160 page that was right in his life. And he left 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.800 out of there with a good attitude and a spring 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.840 in his step. Amen, have you ever heard that saying 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:48.680 that says your attitude determines your altitude? What that means 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.680 is is there our attitudes have a direct correlation with 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.040 the success in our life. Have you ever met somebody 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.720 with just a good attitude. They always saw the solutions 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.280 and not the problems. They felt like they could tackle anything. 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.760 It makes you want to just be around that person. See, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:11.720 your attitude can determine your altitude. All of you know 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.040 the story about Joshua and Caleb. They were two of 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.800 the twelve spies that Moses picked to go into Canaan, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.200 which was the promised land that God had promised the 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.240 Israelites when they left Egypt. And so Joshua and Caleb 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.040 and ten other spies were directed by Moses to go 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.520 into Canaan and to buy out the land, to see 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.240 what the cities were like, see what the people were like, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.520 look at the vegetation. He even said, bring back some 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.560 of the vegetation, so we can see what the soil 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.120 is like and what it's producing. So the twelve men 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.320 went into the land of Canaan. They were there for 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.839 forty days. They collected these huge grapes, They saw these 0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:00.360 amazing pomegranates, they saw the people. They wandered around for 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.280 forty days, and when they got back to the camp, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.880 every one of those men said, the land is rich. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.720 It is indeed land that is flowing with milk and honey, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.520 just like we have heard. But the difference was that 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.679 ten of those men took what they saw and they 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:27.959 perceived it different. They perceived it as it was great land. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.680 It was flowing with milk and honey. But there are 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:35.040 giants in the land. The cities have huge walls around them. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.040 Will never be able to conquer those people because they're 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.679 way bigger than we are. In comparison to us, we 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.280 look like grasshoppers in our own site. They begin to 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.600 take what they perceived and spread it throughout the whole 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.920 camp two million people. Can you imagine they just went 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.280 in and spread that. Well, when Joshua and Caleb said, 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.720 we saw the same thing. The land is good. It 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.640 is what God said it was we need to go 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.280 up right now, and we need to take that land 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.160 at once, and if God is pleased with us, we'll 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:20.520 be successful. Ten spies saw the glass half empty, where 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:30.280 two spies saw the glass half full. It's amazing how 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.199 your attitude can affect what you see. Joshua and Caleb, 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.800 although they had a good report, that good report was 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.680 not good enough to diffuse the negative rumors that had 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.400 spread throughout all the people. It was so negative that 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.320 the Bible says they were crying and complaining and murmuring, saying, 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.840 can we just go back to Egypt? And do you 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.640 know the Lord told Moses, he said, every one of 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.520 you are going to go back to Egypt because of 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.640 your bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining your perception of 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.920 who I am in your life. But the point of 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.280 my story, and the one that I really want us 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.640 to see today, is this that God gave Joshua and 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.440 Caleb a second chance to enter the Promised Land. The 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.240 Bible says that the forty days that those men were 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.959 examining the Promised Land, that's how long that the children 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.320 at Israel were going to wonder in the wilderness. One 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.040 year for every day. They were going to wonder forty 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.600 years in the wilderness. Now, can I tell you the 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.160 ones with the good report, Joshua and Caleb, the ones 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.680 with the attitude, if we can take the land. They 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.680 also had to wonder in the wilderness for forty years. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.200 But the Bible says this about them. They were of 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:02.960 a different spirit. One version says, an excellent spirit. So 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.240 when it was their opportunity after forty years to take 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.199 the younger generation into the promised land, this is what 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.880 Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger and I'm more 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:20.960 determined than ever to take this land. When they thrived 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.120 in the wilderness for forty years, the rest of them 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.680 died in the wilderness. Can I tell you when you 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.760 have a perception of who God is, when you can 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.760 look out over your situation and you can have a 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.360 good attitude, using what you have and valuing what you have, 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.880 you can make it through the struggles of life. You 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.480 can make it through the wilderness moments better off and 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:52.440 more determined than you ever thought you were. When Joshua 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.000 and Caleb were about to go in, this is what 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.640 they spoke to the younger generation. This was their mantra 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.280 their leadership vision. They said, Gus, I can only imagine 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:07.240 He looked at all them and he said, choose ye 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.040 this day, who you will serve. He would say, in 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.880 every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.840 the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.720 see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.520 for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.760 We're gonna choose to overlook offense. We're gonna choose to 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:37.200 quiet the discouraging voices that would try to come against us. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.080 We're gonna choose to believe that God is a big God, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.520 and we're going to hope on in faith. You see, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.880 I believe when we take inventory of our thoughts, we 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:52.280 will be like Joshua and Caleb. In fact, we'll outlast 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.640 anything that the enemy is trying to come against us with, 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.320 and we'll go in and we'll take the land that 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.000 God has given us.
