Our Focus
We live in a world of unrelenting change and constant upheaval, not only in the political and world affairs arena, but also in our own lives. Sometimes our minds leap from one problem and difficulty to another. Our thoughts become tangled in anxious knots thinking that everything is doom and gloom and that there is no solution or light at the end of the tunnel. We feel like we are going to be swallowed up by circumstances and that there is nothing left but dutiful resignation as we face the gaping jaws of uncertainty.
When this happens, we need to change our focus and turn to the One who says, “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye…are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6). And the One who says, “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matthew 11:29). He also assures us, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20). And again, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear” (Hebrews 13:5-6). This focus changes everything and gives us the courage and spiritual energy for whatever comes our way.
