Eyes on God
We were too intent on the service for our minds to wander to any laughing matter. Sunday, Tim Zook (brother-in-law to Hopewell's minister RW) from Minnesota preached at church. A few points from the sermon (which I might be getting mixed up with my own pre-sermon train of thoughts):
The choices I make are directly affected by my focus. For my life to pan out well, God must be the center of my vision. I will make mistakes in what I think — but that's what the brotherhood is here for, to set me straight when I stray.
The way we view and speak of things in life is very much based on personal choice. For example, 10 out of the "12 men [who] went to spy out Canaan" reported their findings with a focus on the "impossibility" of conquering the giants in the land. Caleb and Joshua focused on their ability to conquer through the Lord's help.
