Where's My Focus?

Keep your eyes on Jesus. 

Don't look behind Him.

Don't look around Him.

Focus ON Him. 

Eyes to Eyes.

Don’t watch the storm.

Don’t look at the future. 

"What about the move?

What about where we're gonna live?

Will we be in Tent City?
What about the mandates?
What about our jobs?"

Look at today. 

Plan for tomorrow only.

Don't look at three days from now.

Don't worry about the future.

“Sweetie. C’mon. 

Look at Me.

Don't look out there.

Do you trust me?
I've got you.

You'll be okay."

He touches my chin to redirect my wandering eyes. My curious eyes. My eyes that want to plan for the future. For the next few weeks. For this weekend.

“No, honey. 

Watch Me.

Just Me.

Focus on your Savior. 

On you Father.

Let Me lead.

Keep your eyes on ME.

Eyes to eyes."

 

"Jesus immediately said to them: 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.' 'Lord, if it's you,' Peter replied,. 'tell me to come to you on the water.' 'Come,' He said.'" 

~Matthew 14:27-29

"See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland." ~ Isaiah 43:19
