Shift Your Attention!

“A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance, but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:13

The season of life rotates like a pendulum. According to King Solomon, he said, ” to everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted..” And so on. It does not matter what you are doing, what you have been through, or where you are going or how much money you have made, the season of life will always rotate like a roller coaster.

However, how you handle each season depends on your attitude towards it. If you focus on the bad things in life, it will drain your energy and leave you feeling depressed. When you focus on the negative aspects of life, you tend not to see the positive aspects of life.

If you focus on the good things in life and make them count as blessings, then you will never get stuck or disappointed in any rough situation. When you focus on the good things in life, they will bring out all your inner strength and help to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. So, don’t let the negativity affect your mood. Instead, focus on your faith in God and his promises.

Your faith in Christ Jesus will see you through the season of desperation because faith in him will keep you going. Therefore, shift the focus from what is seen or temporary in your life. Instead, look at the unseen that reposed the spirit, assure you of sufficiency in Christ, and keep you focused on the Lord’s promise. 2 Corinthians 4:18 says, “So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Prayer:
1. Thank God for all the blessings he has given you.
2. Holy Spirit, help me to focus on the promises of God in my life in Jesus’ name.
