Refocsing On The Lord Jesus

Sometimes we can be our own worse enemy.  We get so busy with the things we do.  Our schedules are jammed packed with activities.  Our minds are constantly racing from one thought to the next.  Sometimes we feel like a car that is parked with it's engine running with the accelerator pushed to the floor and the engine is revving at full tilt, but it is still in park.  That is what happens to our bodies when we are stressed to the max with all of our activities, work, and other things that we try to do on our own without paying any attention to the Lord Jesus.

Sometimes we forget to make room for Jesus Christ in our lives.  We try to do things in our own strength and power, but we end up failing miserably.  Sometimes we get so stressed out that we run on our worries and fears and that never ends well (trust me I know).  God doesn't want us to be over stressed and worried.  God doesn't want us to lose our peace.  Being led into something in fear is not the right answer.  When we must no make out decisions based upon fear.  That never works out very well for anybody.

We must instead make our choices focused on the Lord and it must be in accordance to His Word, the Bible.  God is good and He is the Creator of all things.  The Lord promises us that He will never leave us and He will never forsake us.  Our Lord is trust worthy.  We need not be afraid.  The Lord loves us with a deep and everlasting love.

Our enemy goes around like a roaring lion trying to find someone to devour and one of his weapons is fear.  We are told many times through out the Bible that we should not fear, fret, or worry.  God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

We need to examine our lives and our motives for doing the things that we are doing.  We must make sure what we are doing is park of God's will for us.  Sometimes we get side tracked and lose sight of what the Lord would have us to do.  Sometimes we have a habit of saying yes to everyone's request for one reason or another, but we must stop and ask ourselves if the things that we are doing are for the Lord.

If the Lord is calling us to do something other than what we are doing we can trust Him to provide for us and enable us to do whatever it is that He has called us to do.  We need not be afraid for the Lord Jesus will empower us and strengthen us through His Spirit.

We must refocus on the Lord Jesus Christ and surrender our lives to Him.  We need to lay down our fears and anxieties at His feet and trust Him above all else.

Lord,
Forgive us for those times when we take our eyes off of you and are led by our fears.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
Give us a peace in our hearts and minds that surpass all human understanding.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
