Suffering Quotient

Staying focused is another element of this week’s lesson “Stay Focused on God’s Purposes” that demands some context. If you Google search “How to stay focused” you get pages of recommendations on how to stay focused at work, at school, etc, but an article written in the 1600’s tells how to spend a day with God. I like its message on our ultimate purpose (1 Corinthians 10:31), which coincides nicely with 1 Peter 4:16.

I also like Kathryn Aragon’s quiz to measure our “Suffering Quotient”. And her message on how we should respond verses react is important, too. It fits with James’ admonition for Christians to operate in wisdom from above.
