Where's The Focus?!

It is easy to see only what is in front of us, isn't it, . . . car troubles, not enough money, this one's grades or that one's health issues . . .?

Very quickly common everyday issues can steal our attention, grab our focus, . . . consume us if we aren't careful.

Sometimes we can stare so hard at something negative going on, that we can lose our faith in Him. In fact, when we continously seem to be be drawn away into nervousness or hopelessness or fear or any number of things . . . it is a pretty good indication that we are not focusing on God at all. At the very least, we are not trusting Him for our situations.

Luke 12:29-31 says: “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you." (New King James Version)

We might not have all the answers. In fact, we probably rarely have any that will amount to much. Yet, He has them all. + His Word also says that if we have the faith of a mustard seed, . . . which is very very small . . . then we, as believers, can look and that mountain and say "Move!" and it shall move . . . into the sea---or wherever . . . ha ha.

If we keep Him first, seek Him, then He will take care of all these "other things".

Wow. Sometimes we sure make it a lot more difficult than it has to be!

Another thing, we can choose to see things through jaded, bitter eyes . . . or we can choose to see the wonder of creation, the gifts we were given and the people in our lives, and be content with wherever we are and with whatever we have.

Everywhere any of us look, there are ample things to be thankful to God for . . . Just a thought* Be blessed!
