Job 3
When I was in the hospital getting ready for surgery because I had an infection several years ago, I remember being scared. One thing this story reminded me of, is how I was told to think of very positive things to help keep my mind calm when I otherwise would've felt very upset. I remember my mom telling me to imagine lying on a calm and peaceful beach with the sun shining. It's interesting how much this can help people. So much of our feelings are created by what our mind thinks about. This is why the Bible tells us in Phillipians 4:8 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. Farguahr was not unwise to think on beautiful things as he was being hung. Even in his last moments he was able to hold onto hope and dwell on positive things.
