Focus on God

Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven, and all these things will be added to you.

Your Father knows all the things you need.

He feeds the birds of the air , and you are worth much more to Him.

 

Joy and Peace are a result of your faith and focus.

Are you looking at your problems or your God?

Are you complaining or are you giving thanks in all things?

Did Paul and Silas complain or worship when they were thrown into the Philippian Jail ( after being beaten )?

Were they happy or feeling sorry for themselves.

If you are not sure, then read Acts 16:11-40.

 

See how the attitude of worship ( believing and thanking God that He is always in control ) transformed their feelings and those around them.

Their joy in the midst of what appeared to be a negative situation, was a shining light to those around them.

And God shook the jail open. And the jailer and his family came to saving faith.

 

Feeling low?

Where is your focus?

 

Afraid of something?

How big is your God?

 

"Rejoice in the Lord always ( not just when "things" are going smoothly ), again I will say rejoice.

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men, The Lord is Near ( near to return, but also near to you NOW )!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything ( everything???? )  by prayer and supplication ( serious, I mean it, heart felt talking to God ) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God ( but it's not like He does not already know, but you need to be looking to Him for the supply or answers ).

( Result = ) And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension ( the kind that will make you SING in prison after being beaten ), will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
