Changing Focus
Are you finding yourself worrying about things you can’t do anything about? Have the negative things in your life and the life of your loved ones started to take over your mind? I know I’m struggling with that myself. There doesn’t seem to be that much good in the world today. The media reminds us just how sinful we have become as we struggle in the battle to overcome the cursed pandemic. We find that many of our leaders have “feet of clay” in their actions and even worse we find that members of our family, friends, neighbors and ourselves have the same problem. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 7 that he doesn’t understand why he does the things he shouldn’t do and doesn’t do the things he should. It’s a universal problem but it can be solved. As Easter people, we know that there is hope for all of us in spite of ourselves. Our faith in Jesus helps us stand strong in whatever we are facing. Focusing on our blessings instead of worrying about the “what ifs” gives us hope for a better today and tomorrow. Keeping our eye on the goal of living and loving like Jesus is what Easter People do together. Do you agree? I’m going to try a little harder to live by Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” God is blessing us every day. Let’s focus on that and be positive because;
Christ has Died! Christ is Risen! Christ is Coming Again!
God Bless You!
