Being More Than Status Quo

A positive Attitude will allow us to effectively embrace the necessary Change in our lives, so that we can effectively use our gifts.

For most people change is uncomfortable and sometimes it can be down right painful. It is natural to want to avoid what is uncomfortable and what is painful. But growth and development comes with things and situations that are uncomfortable and painful. As a baby, we crawled. When we grew and developed into a toddler, it was not without a few knocks and bruises. Nothing has changed, because you have the potential to grow and develop right up to the day the Lord calls you home.

You have heard the phrase - you are what you eat - well the same is true when it comes to focus. Whatever it is that you make the center point of your thoughts is what you are.

And finally, the way we Think will renew how we See things around us. Those new and positive things that you would never have imagined are what you should be thinking upon now.

Tunnel vision is usually a product of glaucoma, high pressure in the eye.

This high pressure pushes the optic nerve until it cups.

Often time glaucoma and tunnel vision happen so slowly that the person

afflicted does not notice the damage until there is major vision loss.

Then treatment and medicine can restore very little.

With tunnel vision one can only see what is right in front of them.

There is no peripheral vision, one can see only part not the whole.

How is your spiritual vision today? Are you satisfied with the staus quo or are you desiring ……I mean really desiring to see your family and friends make it to heaven.

Mt 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Barnes – Paints a picture of this verse, A waving field of golden grain invites many reapers, and demands haste. By the harvest here, he meant that the multitude of people that flocked to his ministry was great. The people expected the Messiah. They were prepared to receive the gospel. But the laborers were few. Few were engaged in instructing the multitude. He directed them, therefore, to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send forth reapers.

Charles Mims – “A religion that does nothing, that gives nothing, that costs nothing, that suffers nothing, IS WORTH NOTHING!!!!!!”
