The year is 1666 and London is on fire. The most famous Cathedral of the day has burned to the ground. Christopher Wren was commissioned to rebuild St. Pauls Cathedral. He was walking up on the construction and he sees 3 different guys laying bricks. One's not doing so great, one's doing okay, and then the third is just killing it. Wren says to the 1st guy “what are you doing?” The worker basically says “what's it look like I'm doing I'm laying bricks. I'm just trying to feed my family.” Wren goes to the 2nd worker who's doing an average job and he says, “what are you doing?” The worker says “I'm building a wall.” Then wren hears the 3rd worker around back and he’s whistling and singing. The 3rd worker is out performing all of them. When asked “what are you doing?” The worker said, “I'm building a Cathedral to the almighty.”
Research shows that a positive perspective, a mindset, improves confidence and consistency as well as problem solving and performance?
The Bible teaches us about Joseph who has a mastery of a mindset, a mastery of perception, and he's rested in the master's hands. He had been betrayed by his brothers, stripped and beaten. He was sold into slavery. He was falsely accused of rape and unjustly imprisoned. He was forgotten in prison and had long term isolation. Basically, 13 years of severe trauma.
However, his Mastery of Mindset was rewarded. Genesis, 41:41 The pharaoh made him 2nd in charge. The pharaoh actually took the signet ring off his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in the finest robes. He put a gold chain around his neck. He had him ride in the chariot as a 2nd in command, and people shouted at him, make way. Thus, he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
Then in Genesis 45:5, we see the true mindset of a champion when he's showing benevolence to his brothers. he says, “but don't be upset and don't be angry with yourself for selling me into this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.”
Wow. Now, that's an example of how God can turn a GREAT MESS into GREATNESS Y'all have a great day and God bless you.
