COT:
When we’re pushing through a tough workout, the music can keep our minds off the burn or help us dig deeper. That’s the power of focus—what we set our minds on can either lift us or leave us stuck.

The same is true in life. The Apostle Paul encourages us in Philippians 4:8, saying, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

When we choose to focus on what is good, honorable, and true, we build mental strength that spills over into every part of life. As C.S. Lewis said, “Aim at Heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.”

Whether it’s the next rep, the next song, or the next challenge in life, let’s fix our focus on what strengthens our souls.

COT:
Advent is a four-week season dedicated to reflective preparation for the arrival, “advent”, of Jesus www.christianity.com/wiki/holidays/the-christmas-bible-story-nativity-of-jesus-in-scripture.html at Christmas time as well and Christ’s expected return in the www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/things-to-know-before-the-second-coming-of-christ.html. During this important event on the church calendar, each week of Advent focuses on a different theme – hope, peace, joy, and love. Christians from all denominations and backgrounds celebrate Advent in different ways but all focus on the anticipation of waiting for the arrival of Jesus.

“The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

COT:
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

God has a tendency towards reversals. He defeats armies by turning them against themselves, makes kings from shepherds, uses treachery to bring salvation, and demonstrates covenant faithfulness through the outsider. He brings forth children from the barren and the elderly.

Jesus was the reverse of the Messiah that Israel expected. He taught that the last shall be first and the first shall be last, the humble will be exalted, and that an enemy should be loved. Then he completed the great reversal when he defeated death by allowing himself to be taken by it, punished as a sinner even though he was without sin so that sinners might not bear punishment.

Knowing how broken the world is, it should come as no surprise that God, perfectly good, would often be turning it upside down. But how do we cope when He is so confusing? By leaning not on our own understanding. Once we stop telling God what we need Him to do and start asking Him what He needs us to do, we can leave behind the default mindset of compromise and lesser evil and open the way for His dramatic reversal.
