Devotional: Day 983

Greetings,

Have you ever noticed that our most severe tests come when something has distracted us and we’ve looked away from Christ? As long as we’re gazing upon Him in awe and worship, the enemy has a real problem getting our attention. But the moment we’re no longer focused on Jesus, WHAM! That’s when we’re attacked!

Matthew 14:30 (NKJV) – “But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

Since we’ll always be surrounded with distractions and problems, the trick is to stay focused on Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Him. When we’re looking full in His wonderful face, the things of this world seem to grow strangely dim.  

Lord Jesus, help me to keep my eyes on You; never on the disturbances around me. Today, my whole desire is to look upon Your Beauty and Perfection!

Today, I’m worshiping with Natalie Grant and “Turn Your Eyes.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Pastor
