Where's Your Focus At?


👉 Don't look to the right or left. Don't be distracted by circumstances or the smoke screens of the enemy. 

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Don't turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:25-27 

👉 Look to the Lord for help. Keep your eyes open for God, watch for His works; be alert for signs of His presence. If we’re seeking God, then we're watching for Him and His work each day as we go about our business. 

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. Psalm 105:4

👉 God will guide us with His eye on us.

I hear the Lord saying, 'I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with My eyes as your guide.'  Psalm 32:8‭

👉 God is faithful to complete what He's started.

God is the one who began this good work in you and I am certain that He won't stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6

👉 God's grace is sufficient for us. 

I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] Philippians 4:13

👉 Help us to cast our cares on You, Lord. And leave them with You. 

Cast [release] your burdens (anxieties and concerns) on the Lord and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip and fall). Psalm 55:22

👉 God, You're faithful to fulfill every promise. 

... The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made. Psalm 145:13

👉 We can trust God, with everything and maintain our faith in Him. 

Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Prayer: Father, we keep fighting to focus on You, Your Words, Your heart, Your face. Help us. When the momentum of the day tries to sweep us up into busyness and frustration, we loose sight of You. Help us to see You and stay connected to You. In Jesus' name, amen 🙏.
