FOCUSED
I'm as guilty as the next at losing focus. I had to stop myself from typing MY focus. And that's telling in itself.
In our Sunday School class, OK Adult Bible Fellowship class--I'm trying to "get with it", a question asked "Jesus makes it clear that we need God's power to face temptations and to stand against satan's attacks. What are some practical ways God might answer these requests in your life?"
My answer was it all being about focus. I made reference to a photo that has helped me, and it's pictured on this blog entry today. The picture of the eye reflecting the cross. When I think of that, it puts the emphasis in the proper perspective. That's right, Pastor Rick, it's not about me at all.
Another item I learned in Sunday School is that satan is not a proper name, thus no capitalization. Satan simply means adversary. Scripture often denotes him as evil or the evil one. In fact the NIV in Luke 11:4b states, "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one". That's why I go to Sunday School. Well, one reason. Also, I just feel good there. It just helps me keep the focus, too.
