Shift Your Focus

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Ephesians 3:15-21

Worship song: Press

 


Meditation:

    Have you ever felt like the struggles of life are weighing heavily on you, pulling you in different directions so that you find it difficult to focus on what is important? We can become so caught up with what is going on in our lives, so focused on what is happening in the world, that we struggle to stay focused on what matters. No matter what we encounter and the challenges we face, we can overcome them all by shifting our focus from our problems to our problem solver. There is a promise of God for every circumstance in our lives, but we must first shift our focus and transform our minds by the Word of God. It is easy for us to get caught up in the worries and cares of this world, but we can shift our focus and fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the only one who can change our circumstances. Many of us are disabled by our situations, but if we call upon the Lord, Jesus Christ, trust him with our condition, and shift our focus from that which we cannot control and place it on God, who is in control of all things, then and only then will we be victorious over our situation. We must learn to shift our focus to God instead of focusing on that which affects us. How we perceive our situation determines the outcome. When your situation gets out of control and you find it difficult to handle, leave it in the hands of the mountain mover, the storm commander, and leave it there. If God is the author and finisher of our faith, let us worship him with a grateful heart and focus on him who can do all things.

 Let us pray:

    Gracious Father, I give you thanks for the abundant grace and mercies that you bestow upon us daily. I give thanks, O God, for reminding us that our present situations do not define us, nor does it determine our future. Lord, I am grateful that as we go through our storms, you are with us, calming and controlling the raging wind. Lord, in everything, I want to give you thanks, acknowledging that you are the author and finisher of my faith. Almighty God, help me to shift my focus to Jesus Christ, my problem solver, showing appreciation through worship and applying the word of God to every situation I encounter. Help me, Lord, to focus on that which is important. Father, shift my focus from the insignificant things in life and divert my attention to the God who is in control through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. Amen. 

 Have a wonderful day. Keep safe. 💕🙏

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
