Focus God and not the contrary.

 

Text: 2Chronicles 20:12

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.

When we are confronted in life on every side, where do you look up to for help. Our faith and confidence at the time of challenge speaks about our real focus. If your faith is small you will give up in the face of challenge. Our hope should be built on the mighty God because our help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. The question is, is our hope on the creator of the universe or do we focus on the mortal things that are temporary? Psalm 25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.  It is the nature of man to run to God at difficult moments. But it is a wrong time to look up to God rather it should be our way of life enquiring and depending on God for direction on a daily bases.

Amazingly, for Jesus who is our role model, in every situation He will call on God first knowing he hears him always. Do we have absolute confidence that God is able? Jesus does not fret on challenges but very hopeful with compassion. For instance in John11:41 “And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said father, I thank the thou hast heard me   Remember, unpleasant situations happen without signals but be loaded to stand firm in Jesus name. In place of anxiety, let’s learn to look up to the Lord. He has answers for all human challenges.  Friends, we can break the hold of any concern by focusing on Jesus in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.Oh Lord, may we stand and declare the victories of the past as we fix our eyes on the Lord for current situation in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember calmness in place of anxiety in the midst of storm as we cultivate His presence.
