The Right Focus !!

Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart!
Hola!! So last month I began what I am calling - " Single God's Way : What it's like for me " series , and you can read about that here .... a sequel is on the way, but today we do something different. 

Today.. today I just want to Worship God! .... Today I just want to exalt Jesus!.... Today I just want to love on and revere the person that is the Holy Spirit, who is more and more becoming my great comforter and my true friend!! Today I just want it to be about the Lord and us giving Him all of ourselves, our entire beings and everything that is in us! All of our heart, all of our mind, all of our strength! All of us and all that is in us!! 

Today I just want to remind our hearts to fix our eyes on Jesus, on the eternal and not the temporary! Be it the attractive, appealing and enticing things of this world, or the sad dire situations in our very own lives and all around us! May we pursue magnifying God above all that is around us. May we adjust our focus to the right subject !
  
Today I want to challenge us to be bold, radical, Christians who are on fire for Jesus!! To stop fearing the ones who don't hold our eternity in their hands, the ones whose souls so desperately need us to be doing what we have been called to do (even if they don't know or understand it yet) for them to see the Truth! That we may be Christians who seek God's okay over every area of our lives and place His opinion way above what we ourselves or men think of us. That God's opinion is the only opinion that matters to us. That obedience to Him on the daily is our story!

That we stop seeking to please the created and seek to please the Creator instead! To live for an audience of One!! 


To remember that this is all temporary, this is all for a season and Eternity is forever! 

May there be a burning desire in us to love The Lord more and more as each day passes by! To want more and more and more of Him!


Pastor Cornelius Lindsey
We can't be saved and want to be cool too, if it's God we are really after - we have got to choose one master! Don't lose your ticket to heaven and a chance to be used by God. We can't have a part of us loving the world and another part loving the Lord, it doesn't work like that, we are either on His side or against Him, we are either black or white - there is no gray. (Jonathan McReynolds - No Gray)

We are here for God's glory. May your heart find this a beautiful reminder to soak in always!



God created us for his glory.
“Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory” (Isaiah 43:6–7). God made all of us in his own image so that we would image-forth, or reflect, his character and moral beauty. - John Piper

Every human should live for God’s glory.
“Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The way to live for the glory of God is to love him (Matthew 22:37), trust him (Romans 4:20), be thankful to him (Psalm 50:3) and obey him (Matthew 5:16). When we do these things we image-forth God’s glory. - John Piper


May the reality of the magnitude of God consume our spirits that we give Him His due worship, that our lives are radically transformed day by day by the reality of who He is and His Story! That the cares of this world would take a back seat and for Him to ever be at the front!

The more we know Him, the more we will want to know Him!!

God Bless you always!

Love, Ree.
