Look Away Unto Jesus ; Focus Your Attention on Jesus

My science project is due in a week, and I haven't even bought any of the things I need for it! If only I had a new pair of shoes, I'd feel more comfortable going out with my friends. Why can't Dad and Mum quit fighting each other so much?! These were some of the thoughts that weighed heavily on Theresa's mind. If only she realised that if she wanted a change, rather than worry about her problems, she should spent time meditating on and declaring the Word.

Do you remember the case of Peter walking on the water toward Jesus? If he had kept his gaze on the Master, instead of the billowing waves, he wouldn't have been overwhelmed by them and began to sink. The same thing happens to many today; when they allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of their problems, instead of focusing on the Word of God, they begin to sink. In your Christian walk, it's important that you look away from every distraction unto the Master.

There's no situation you can't handle successfully with the Word of God. Make the Word of God your stay; live in the Word! Learn from Jesus; He lived the Word, though He's the Word! He was focused, and was never distracted from the Word. He looked at the result of His faith, and for the joy that was set before Him, He endured the cross and disregarded its shame. He didn't care what people thought about Him; His focus was to carry out the will of the Father. It should be the same with you.
