What Are You Looking At?

What are the dangers we face today? Most would say losing their job, their house, retirement savings, not having enough money to pay bills, buy groceries, and put gas in their car.

BUT, for those of us who are believers, those things aren't dangers at all because we have a God who supplies ALL our needs according to HIS riches in glory. We have a Savior who makes all grace abound toward us so that we, ALWAYS having ALL sufficiency in ALL things, can abound to EVERY good work. We've been BLESSED with THE BLESSING of Abraham that causes us to prosper even in the mist of famine.

The only danger we face in times like these is losing sight of that fact.

That's why the most important question we can ask ourselves right now is this: What am I looking at?

Whatever we focus on most is, is what we become. That's a strong biblical truth that controls all human learning. It's the root of all conduct and behavior.

I've seen people focused on failing financial systems, and they will end up duplicating that failure.

It will draw you off course. It will cause you to take the wrong path. It will disorient you and leave you confused.

According to the dictionary, confusion is a "mixture of several thoughts, ideas or things being blended and mixed together creating disorder in the mind." The result is disaster! Proverbs 14:12; says it this way, "There is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

People who are confused in times like these make bad decisions. They do things that seem right and logical in the worlds eyes, without realizing that those things cut them off from THE BLESSING and open the door to the curse in their lives.

So keep your eyes fixed on the Word, say it, say it, and act on it. SO, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
