What are you focusing on today?

Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly healed. Luke 8:47

In this story from the Bible, there’s a woman who had been suffering for 12 long years. Despite feeling uncomfortable and in pain, she kept her focus on Jesus. She believed that if she could just touch his robe, she would be healed. And when she reached out in faith, she was instantly healed.

This story teaches us something important: when we need a miracle in our lives, we need to focus on Jesus. We need to have faith, believing that he can do incredible things for us. And then, we need to take a step towards him, just like the woman did when she reached out to touch his robe.

So if you’re facing a difficult situation and you need a miracle, don’t lose hope. Keep your eyes on Jesus, trust in his power, and take that step of faith. You never know what incredible things he might do for you.

What are you focusing on today? Are you concentrating on your difficult situation or on God’s promises? You may be facing all sorts of problems. Perhaps new challenges have arisen in your life, leaving you feeling discouraged. But don’t let it get you down. Don’t allow it to divert your focus from God. He is working on your behalf in the supernatural, even when you can’t see it. Keep your trust and focus on His promises, not on your problems.

It’s crucial to maintain an attitude of faith in your heart. Believe that God is for you. Trust that His plans for you remain unchanged, regardless of new problems or troubling circumstances. The more you concentrate on what God is doing, the more your faith will grow. If you feel like you’re facing impossible challenges, don’t be afraid. God is on your side – nothing is impossible for Him. Stay focused on what God can accomplish in your life. Remember, He’s always in control. God knows the end from the beginning, and He allows challenges in your life to deepen your trust in Him.

God Bless You Abundantly.

QUIET DOWN

One day He and His disciples got in a boat. “Let’s cross the lake,” He said. And off they went. It was smooth sailing, and he fell asleep. A terrific storm came up suddenly on the lake. Water poured in, and they were about to capsize. They woke Jesus: “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

Getting to His feet, He told the wind, “Silence!” and the waves, “Quiet down!” They did it. The lake became smooth as glass.

Then He said to His disciples, “Why can’t you trust me?”

They were in absolute awe, staggered and stammering, “Who is this, anyway? He calls out to the winds and sea, and they do what He tells them!” Luke 8:22-25

This Bible story is like a picture of our daily lives. Every day, we face different challenges, just like crossing a lake. These challenges can come from our work, our families, our communities, or our churches. Each challenge is like a different lake, with its own problems and difficulties.

In the story, Jesus is asleep in the boat when a big storm hits. This is like when we feel overwhelmed or tempted to give up. But even in the storm, Jesus stays calm and steady. It’s like God telling us to keep going, to trust Him no matter what happens.

We may experience moments of doubt, feeling unworthy or guilty, but God’s promise remains unchanged. He commands us to be strong and courageous, assuring us of His constant presence and support: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

So, when troubles arise, let us turn to Jesus for help. Just as he calmed the storm with a word, he is near to calm the storms in our lives. Whatever challenges we’re facing today, remember that with Jesus, we can cross the lake, overcoming every obstacle that stands in our way.”

God Bless You Abundantly.
