“Refocus!”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Refocus!”
Our pastor, Rev. Victor S. Brice, is continuing his teachings on I’m Winning This Thing. He is now focusing on supervising and managing our sufferings. During our Sunday morning worship service he made the statement, “You must have the right attitude.” You must have the right reaction to your suffering. i.e., Jesus had the right reaction to his suffering while hanging on the cross.
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” – Luke 23:34 (NIV).
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all could develop the right attitude while we are going through our trials, troubles, difficulties, sufferings? This may sound difficult to do but it is doable if we would only refocus. Refocus? Yes, refocus! Take your mind off what you’re going though and focus on God. Redirect your negative energy to positive.
“Seek peace and pursue it.” – 1 Peter 3:11b (NIV).
Remember, all things begin and end with God. Therefore, keep Him involved in all that you do. We tend to leave God out of most things that we do. Why is that? Is it because we are doing things that God would not approve of? If God can’t be included, then you should probably not be doing it anyway.
You can’t win it if God isn’t in it!
“Happiness and joy are the right attitude.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
Keep a positive attitude while going through your suffering and wreak the benefits. Yes, there are benefits to your suffering. Pastor Brice is teaching us that suffering will develop you – transform you – test you – and lead you to a testimony. Shout! Yes, it is time to shout! We will always win in the end!
I titled this blog Refocus because this is what we all must do while going through. Problems, pain, suffering. We must accept the inevitable but don’t focus on them. We must keep our minds stayed on Jesus. Our Healer – Comforter – Provider – Our All in All.
