Focus On God

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

There is a sizeable number of people who are convinced they are too evil for God to help, or they have problems that are too big for God to handle. They seem to have more faith in their inability than they do in God’s ability. They seem to have more faith in the problem than they do in God. This happens when we focus on the problem, instead of looking to God who is the solution. As long as we focus on the problem and let it consume our attention, we will have faith in it to defeat us. We will forget “the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4 NIV). We have a choice on what we focus our attention on, in times of crisis. So, no matter how urgent the problem biting at your heels may seem, God’s answer for you is to look up and focus on His provision. God is bigger than any problem you face and can deliver you from any situation, no matter how bad it is. The devil tries to get us to focus on ourselves and our shortcomings, instead of focusing on Jesus and His ability to carry us through to victory. Whenever the focus is pointing to us, instead of pointing to God, you can be assured the devil has some involvement in those thoughts. You have to make the choice to focus your attention on God instead of on yourself and your problems. Instead of thinking of how evil you are, focus on how good God is. His goodness is more than enough to overcome your evil. Instead of looking at what you lack, look at all God has. And remember He is your Father and He loves you. Have faith in God!
