Title: Where Is Your Focus?

-

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 KJV

Imagine being brutally beaten and forced to carry an extremely heavy wooden cross behind you while walking with excruciating pain all over your body from head to toe. Probably, none of us could have done that and reached Mt. Golgotha still breathing.

Because of the many negative things rushing through our minds alongside the physical pain, we would have desired to stop breathing in the middle of the ordeal. Yet Christ chose to finish the mission. He was determined to be crucified and experience the pain once and for all because His eyes were focused on something joyful—our salvation, restoration, healing, freedom, and Abba Father’s tears of joy carrying us back into His loving arms.

Beloved, whenever you feel like complaining, whining, or remaining negative because of what is happening, may the Lord Jesus Christ inspire you to focus on what’s ahead! Realize that when there is pain, pressure, and struggle, it’s because breakthrough is close by! Never give up. Focus on Jesus!

Prayer Point: Lord Jesus, thank You for never giving up on us and for saving, redeeming, and restoring us into the Father’s arms. Whenever I feel down, in pain, or struggling, may I only look unto the cross to be empowered by all the things You went through for us. I can do all things through You Who gives me strength in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
