Where’s your focus?

More and more people find themselves distraught or discouraged. If we’re honest, there’s a lot to be discouraged about.

However, our mental perspective has everything to do with where we place our focus. We have no end of bad, dreadful, heartbreaking things to focus on around us in this world of ours. But, we do have something (I mean someONE) we can focus on instead.

We are not putting our heads in the sand and ignoring what’s happening, but our perspective has to start with who’s in charge. When we focus on Jesus, we can see how He can use us in the mess, how He can strengthen and encourage us.

Life is going to be difficult, but we are never alone. Focus on that…I mean HIM!

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.” (Colossians 3:1-4 NLT)
