Focus on the Promises of God

Focus on the Promises of God

Focus more on the promises of what God has in store for you instead of the problems you are facing to get there.  By focusing in on God and His promises you allow inner peace to flow throughout your heart, and mind.  What God has purposed here on earth will come to pass unfailing, and sure.  His word brings peace, love, and restoration.  Max Lucado said, "God is either God of all or not God at all.  Semi-sovereignty is not an option."  There is nothing that happens on the earth or universe that God is not aware of.  He is all powerful, all knowing, and triumphant over Satan, sin, and death.  "So shall my words be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." (Isaiah 55:11-12).  Such powerful words!    The promise in the word is hope, and should urge all believers to spread the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.  Whatever God has willed for you, whatever God, has spoken to you,  and whatever God has promised you, he intends to finish it in you.  He is going to do it.  The battle is not yours, but the Lords!  If God said, trust, and believe it!  
When you start to feel like everything is closing in, you began to worry, or you start having doubts, take a deep breath, and call on God.  When the enemy starts to tell you that you are not capable, not worthy for the task, plagues you with self-guilt, and condemnation, just call on Jesus!  Remember, that battle is not yours.  That victory was won when Jesus died on the cross.  You are victorious!  Take a stand, and don't allow the enemy to tell you that you are the victim.  Keep your head held high in confidence with Christ Jesus!  Having a "looking forward to" mindset will help you to "Focus on the Promises of God", and not the problems faced of this world. Knowing that,
Having faith, and "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6).  And He, "Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 1:8).  Those that wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus will be kept by Him to the end by and with free grace.  "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." (Psalms 27:4).  You will never fail, nor be ashamed by waiting on God.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31).  What promises!!!  To God be the glory!  "Grace will complete what grace begins!"

Have a blessed day dear friends!
