Hebrews 12:2
"Let us keep our eyes fixed on JESUS, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end"
The enemy will always lure us towards panic and worry if we focus on all that's wrong in this world. And even when we know Truth and believe that GOD is in control, there can be a lot in this life we might start to feel anxious about. It can still be a daily battle in our hearts, in our minds. When we just keep looking all around, we will easily get defeated and lose heart. Fear creeps in. We lose our focus because we're so distracted by all the things that can never really give us strength and hope anyway. GOD in CHRIST alone can offer us confident peace that can never be found in this life without Him. Today we choose to set our eyes on Him. For if He made all of heaven and earth, surely He has a good, Sovereign, incredible plan, for you and for me. He knows our way in this journey of life, and He’s a “with us” GOD who promised never to leave us nor forsake us. LET US KEEP OUR FOCUS ON THE LORD JESUS!
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Psalm 18:2
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my GOD is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
Deuteronomy 3:22
“Do not fear them, for the LORD your GOD is the one fighting for you."
Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper..."
Colossians 3:1-2
1-Since, then, you have been raised with CHRIST, set your hearts on things above, where CHRIST is, seated at the right hand of GOD. 2-Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3-For you died, and your life is now hidden with CHRIST in GOD.”
PRAYER….
Dear GOD, from this moment forth I set my mind on things that are above. I set my mind on Your righteousness. I set my mind on Your kingdom. I set my mind on You. I set my mind on Your HOLY SPIRIT. I set my mind on Your Son my LORD JESUS CHRIST. I set my mind on You my FATHER, by putting You first in all that I do that You may never come last. May I never put my trust or hope on things here on earth. May I die to all worldliness and be risen to a life hidden with CHRIST. When CHRIST JESUS who is my life is revealed, may I also be revealed with Him in glory. In JESUS’ Holy Name. Amen.
