Shift Your Focus
“Look to the Lord and his strength.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
What’s the first thing you think of when you wake up? If you’re facing pressure in any area of life, naturally your thoughts will likely go to them.
The thoughts may even dominate your mind all day long. It’s a pressure that needs to go away, a nagging that needs to end. But how?
Breakthrough comes when we do the things that aren’t our natural response.
God calls us to a higher level than what our natural minds come up with on their own.
He calls us to live from faith to faith and glory to glory. That takes some effort! It begins with shifting your focus from the problem to God.
Do you want out of these chains? Praise Him. Worship him. You have been praying about your situation for a time, now shift your focus to the goodness of God. Thank Him for who He is, what He has done in your life, and what He will do! That’s faith! He is worthy of all our praise.
Maybe you’ve forgotten what you can be thankful for. It might take some time to restore a grateful heart but keep at it until it is genuine and heartfelt.
Shift your focus onto obeying Him. Even in the midst of your trouble. He is calling you to make some changes in your life and rise up and become even stronger spiritually.
“Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.” Psalm 34:5
