Manna for Your Morning

Now stay focused on Jesus, who designed and perfected our faith. He endured the cross and ignored the shame of that death because He focused on the joy that was set before Him; and now He is seated beside God on the throne, a place of honor. — Hebrews 12:2 (VOICE) The Amplified Bible adds: [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus … When we focus on current circumstances, which are always up and down, we can get distracted and drift away from God and His perfect will for us. Instead, stay focused on Jesus. He is always the same, and His years will never come to an end. When Jesus is our focal point, we maintain internal peace and calm, in the midst of external chaos. Believe in God, believe also in Jesus. (John 14:1) Trust God to provide what you need (strength, direction, wisdom, favor, healing, etc.) at just the right time.

 “with God all things are possible.” — Mark 10:27 (NKJV) I think the words “with God” are the pivotal point in making this Scripture a reality in our lives. We need to examine ourselves and see if we are really with God, in spirit and in truth. When we are with God, we are led by His Holy Spirit within us and we bring our mind, will and emotions (soul) into alignment. When we are truly with God, the world around us fades away and we get caught up in the absolute awe of Who He is. Even though we are “busy, busy, busy,”  God is always the center focal point, around which everything else revolves. He captures our attention and we are fully engaged in our relationship with Him. As long as we are WITH God, yes, ALL things are possible!
