Where is Your Focus
Turn your eyes on Jesus, look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace. Where is your focus or Who is your focus on?
Last night will be a night to remember in the ministry for time to come. I met this lady a couple months ago and she moved around through a mobile wheelchair. She gave her life to Jesus Christ a year ago. Two weeks ago when I saw her, she had a destitute and depressed demeanor. She asked for prayers as she always did but this week, this week she was shouting, I am healed. It brought tears of thanksgiving to my heart. This lady was dancing around to the songs that we were playing and praising God. No wheelchair, no cane, she walked on her own volition. Her focus was totally on God.
In 1 Samuel 17 David’s focus was on God when he battled the Philistine giant. Vs 45, “then David said to the Philistine, thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of host, the God of the armies of Israel, whom though hast defied,” In Matthew 14 Peter on the other hand, took his eyes off Jesus and he begun to sink, vs 30. In vs. 31 the Lord responded to Peter this way “…. O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt.”
Who or what gets the most of your attention today; the news, the children or grandchildren, the car, the wife or husband, money or lack of, your job. Where is your focus? With all the disappointments, temptations and trials that we face daily we most keep our eyes on Jesus and not the things of this world.
God Bless.
