-"Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end." --(Hebrews 12:2 GNT)
--WHEN you read the news headlines or think about the daily struggles you and your loved ones face, it is easy to lose heart. The challenges can certainly seem too overwhelming to overcome.
But that is why Scriptures calls you to have have a different focus--not looking at the circumstances before you, but having a gaze fixed on Jesus. Why? Because He is greater than whatever is happening to you. Your relationship with Christ opens the door to every blessing the Father has promised in His Word and provides all the resources you will ever need. Jesus is the reason you can have an unshakable, eternal hope that everything is going to be okay, regardless of the situation.
So no matter what you're facing today, don't think of it in terms of your strength or knowledge. Instead, consider what Jesus--the all-powerful, all-wise Savior who defeated sin and death on your behalf--can do. Certainly, He is the anchor that will always hold you steady, no matter how severe the storm may be. Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. He holds you in the palm of His nail-pierced hand. ~~
-"Lord Jesus, when I get distracted or overwrought by circumstances, always remind me to look to You. I love You, my Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, and soon coming King above all kings! Hallelujah! "Even so, Come Lord Jesus!" ~~ AMEN~

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
