Hebrews 12:1–2 — “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”

 

YOUR FOCUS CAN DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE!

Eve looked at the fruit — and lost paradise.

Lot’s wife looked back — and lost her future.

Peter looked at the waves — and started sinking.

The ten spies looked at the giants and missed the Promised Land.

Martha looked at the work — and got distracted from the Word.

The rich young ruler looked at his possessions — and walked away from Jesus.

SAME GOD. DIFFERENT DISTRACTIONS. DIFFERENT OUTCOMES!

Let me tell you something: YOUR PROBLEM ISN’T ALWAYS WHAT YOU’RE FACING. SOMETIMES, IT’S WHAT YOU’RE FOCUSED ON!

You’ve been staring at the storm so long that you forgot who controls the wind!

You’ve been studying the size of your giant instead of remembering the power of your God!

You’ve been replaying your past so much that you can’t see what God is doing in your present!

You’ve been crying over what you lost that you haven’t thanked God for what’s left!

And you’ve been watching people who don’t even have the power to bless you or curse you like God can!

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE YOUR FOCUS!

Stop looking at the storm. LOOK AT THE SAVIOR!

Stop looking at the giant. LOOK AT YOUR GOD!

Stop looking at your past. LOOK AT YOUR PROMISE!

Stop looking at what you lost. LOOK AT WHAT GOD LEFT!

Stop looking at people. LOOK TO JESUS!

Because when you keep your eyes on the wrong thing, you can miss the right thing God is doing!

THE STORM MAY BE REAL, BUT SO IS YOUR SAVIOR!

THE GIANT MAY BE BIG, BUT YOUR GOD IS BIGGER!

YOUR PAST MAY BE PAINFUL, BUT YOUR FUTURE IS STILL IN GOD’S HANDS!

Somebody needs to stop scrolling, lift your head, and change your focus!

DON’T LET WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU MAKE YOU FORGET WHO’S ABOVE YOU!
