“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim"  Fixing our gaze on the Author and Finisher of our faith will certainly cause awareness of our life's circumstances to diminish.  Amen?
 

Focus Today: "For we walk by faith, not by sight."  (2 Corinthians 5:7)

 

Everyday, each one of us face situations and circumstances that tell us we're defeated or we've missed it, all opportunities for us to accept the guilt and condemnation that the enemy would weigh us down with.  We all go through times where we are unsure of God's presence, feeling totally alone and vulnerable.  However, walking by faith means that we Must experience these times in order for the Lord to show us His mighty arm in the midst of our circumstances.

 

Let us Pray: “Heavenly Father, our flesh grows weak and our faith diminishes so easily.  Father, help us to keep our gaze fixed on You and Your promises so our circumstances in life won't overwhelm us.  Our heart's sole desire is to serve You, to love You, to worship You, not only in deed, but through steadfast faith in Your ability to keep us from all harm.  We love you, Lord.  Fill us with courage so that Christ will be honored in our bodies, whether by life or by death.  For us to live is Christ, to die is gain!  Grant that our manner of life may be worthy of the Good News of Christ.  Help us to stand firm in one Spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the Good News, not frightened in anything by our opponents.  Grant that we may not only believe in Christ, but that we shall also be willing to suffer for Him if necessary, engaged in the same conflict as was Jesus, the apostles, the martyrs, and all of Your Church until this very day.  In the Name of Jesus we ask it.  Amen.”

 

We have a commission to walk by faith knowing that our Heavenly Father is very able to keep us even in the midst of our darkest hour.  Don't let your eyes deceive you and cling to His promises, "walk by faith, not by sight!"

 

“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.”  Phil. 1:20

 

Love in the Lord
