Victory in Suffering

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:2 NIV84)

God is not glorified through our suffering; He is glorified by the right attitude during our suffering. How do you have a right attitude? Look to heaven and know that God has a purpose in it specifically for you. This life on earth is not all there is.... Thank you Jesus!!

Why do we remain bitter, angry, wounded and depressed? Perhaps it's because our focus is inward, downward, and backward. We need to focus outward, upward, and forward to achieve the victory which is God's will!!

Suffering is any pain or distress. So, for many, this is part of everyday life. We have so many opportunities to obtain victory through the way we choose to think about our circumstances as we enter, travel through, and finish!! I want to finish well, don't you?

We have the freedom to live a victim-free mentality!! So drop the "woe is me" and choose the "Great is thee" and be set free!!
