Start Again with P^4
By Philip Stripling of Project PET Board
(For those who don't know, P^4 is P to the 4th power)
This is simply about two concepts I learned in school this year that involved getting a fresh start. Two important concepts I learned this year go hand in hand. One of them I have talked about before, but the other is new.
Here are the concepts: “Start…Again!”
Stop making excuses
Thank God for everything
Act in faith
Refocus (or reevaluate)
Trust God P^4
Presupposition
Perspective
Priority
Practice The first concept is simply for starting over. When one has the opportunity to start anew, take it. That is the concept simply put. Start over and put God in the sights, rather than what was previously in it. Things so frequently take the place of God that when anyone is given the opportunity to start afresh and realign his or her sights, that person should take it. The second concept is that everything in ones life is based on his or her presupposition. The presupposition is, essentially, a viewpoint on anything and everything. If the presupposition is that “I hate video games,” then the practice will be that the person will not play video games, and may talk bad about them. If the presupposition is that “I do not have any opinion about video games,” then that person may or may not play any video games and probably will not say much of anything about them. Finally, if the presupposition is that “I love video games,” that that person will play them, probably be addicted to them, and will not shut up about them. Anything can be inserted in the place of video games, and that will change what the presupposition is about. A presupposition can be about anything: worldview, food, colors, road kill, or anything else.
How do these two concepts fit together? They fit together in that when starting anew, one must change his or her presupposition in order to truly start over. Once the presupposition is focused on the right object, everything else falls into place. Simple, right? It can seem complicated. When it was first explained to me, I needed some time to understand it. However, when I learned it, the two were not taught in conjunction but separately. It is amazing how the Lord can teach a lesson by teaching two different concepts and then showing myself or anyone else how they relate and can be used in conjunction. |
