Fix My Eyes...on Him

Feburary 3

God is with me and for me.

If He is with me, how would that change my mood, my attitude, my perspective on everything that I am facing at this very moment?

If He is for me, then why would I choose fear over peace?

There is nothing that I will face today...alone. His Presence is with me always.

Since God is with me always....I have a helpmate right by my side, when the silence around me is deafening, I will not focus on that....I will grab my Father’s hand and enjoy His company.

When I feel anxious....it is a warning sign that I am focusing on the visible world...and leaving God out of it!

This is so true. There is nothing in God’s character that is anxious. He is total peace. He gave us total peace when He sent His Son in our lives. God and anxiety can’t fit in the same sentence (oops...I just put them in the same one)...but they don’t. Whenever I choose anxiety I am leaving God out of the picture. Wow...just choose God...and I won’t be anxious. How simple!!!

I choose to Fix my eyes on what is unseen...what is in the heavenly realm...my Jesus...that is the secret in walking through my moments in peace. What is seen is so temporary...everything is one big distraction...satan’s playing field. He is the author of distraction. He so loves pulling our affections off of God and onto the world. He knows that when our eyes are fixed on what is seen...we will become anxious.

God is about right now. He wants me to walk with Him right now. He has taken care of the future, when I said “Yes” to Christ. I will live “Happily Ever After”, so why would I even start to worry about tomorrow...what is to come, when “what is to come” is the ultimate present...to be in the Lord’s Presence always.

Each day is a precious gift from my Father.

Every second that I have is a precious gift because God has given it to me and He is in all things. Why would I want anything more?

I am to receive today...as a gift “gratefully, unwrapping it tenderly and delving into its depths”.

How beautifully put...unwrapping today slowly, peacefully, savoring the taste of every second, as God brings me deeper into His presence, as He transforms me into the likeness of His Son.

What a precious gift!

So I will “...fix my eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporay, but what is unseen is eternal “(eternal defined: everlasting, never-ending, ceaseless). 2 Corinthians 4: 18)
