Keep fixing your eyes on Jesus

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. —Micah 7:7 Keep Fixing Your Eyes on Me by Sarah Young, from Jesus Calling® Keep Fixing Your Eyes on Me I, the Creator of the universe, am with you and for you. What more could you need? When you feel some lack, it is because you are not connecting with Me at a deep level. I offer abundant Life; your part is to trust Me, refusing to worry about anything. It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the result you desire. Your thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go your way, you forget that I am in charge of your life. The only remedy is to switch your focus from the problem to My Presence. Stop all your striving, and watch to see what I will do. I am the Lord! What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? — Romans 8:31-32 But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. —Micah 7:7 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. — 1 Corinthians 12:3 * When things don't go as you would like, accept the situation immediately. If you indulge in feelings of regret, they can easily spill over the line into resentment. Remember that I am sovereign over your circumstances, and humble yourself under My mighty hand. Rejoice in what I am doing in your life, even though it is beyond your understanding. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In Me you have everything you need, both for this life and for the life yet to come. Don't let the impact of the world shatter your thinking or draw you away from focusing on Me. The ultimate challenge is to keep fixing your eyes on Me, no matter what is going on around you. When I am central in your thinking, you are able to view circumstances from My perspective. Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  — 1 Peter 5:5-6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." — John 14:6 Excerpted with permission from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, copyright Sarah Young. Your Turn Are you anxious and worried? Disappointed? Regretful? God is still in charge! Today, let's fix our eyes on Jesus. He is the Creator of the entire universe; He can handle our problems and concerns. Come share your thoughts with us on our blog.
