focus on God

Where is your focus?

The secret to endurance is to keep your eyes and desire focused on Me and My Love for you. Do not look at yourself and your hardship. That will lead to emotional pressure and self-pity. Do not look for escape. That will lead to frustration and anger. Look only at Me. Focus on My Presence and My Voice. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 8:17-18 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans :28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Dance with Me

Keep your focus on Me and My Love for you. Grieving over your sin pulls you into the exterior and removes your focus from Me and places it on yourself. Allow humility to remain while you shift your focus from your feelings to Me, My Presence, My Love for you and My Voice. How can you dance with Me if your heart continues to be filled with regret? Trust My Love. Philippians 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ Ephesians 2:22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love . . . Ephesians 3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Colossians 3:3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Philippians 3:1a For the rest, my brethren, delight yourselves in the Lord and continue to rejoice that you are in Him. To keep writing to you [over and over] of the same things is not irksome to me, and it is [a precaution] for your safety. Philippians 3:8  Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage). of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain). Christ (the Anointed One), Isaiah 58:14 Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

Choose Me, listen for My Voice

When you place your feet within My footprints We not only reach Our destination but you avoid injury from unseen harms along the way. Cultivate your desire to follow Me. Listen more intently. As you go about your day, strain for My Voice. When you are lured into the exterior, retreat back into your spirit and focus on Me. You must will yourself to do this. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

No Condemnation

Do not meditate on your weakness. That leads to self-condemnation and self-pity. Do not rejoice in your strength. That leads to pride, judgmentalism  and self-righteousness. Rather keep your focus on Me and listen for My Voice. You cannot follow what you do not focus on. Follow Me rather than your thoughts. John 10:27 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one. Romans 8:1-2 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Stop Judging!

Just as you cannot see what\’s going on beneath the surface of the ocean, so you also cannot see what\’s going on inside another person\’s mind and soul. Stop trying. Look at Me instead. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 2-19
