Thank you so much for these timely reminders!! Yes! Let's keep our focus on Jesus Christ absolutely correct sister not allowing ourselves to be distracted by the thousands of voices exercising only futility in trying to steal our peace and hope in Jesus. When we look at the book of Acts then the epistles where the early Christians were being persecuted and facing so many difficulties such as famine trials and tribulations, yet the letters written to the various congregations were always so encouraging upbuilding edifying and always focused on Heavenly father and His promises and in the doing the will of our Lord Jesus and in disciplining in His righteousness empowered and fully equipped and engaged in Him. Having confidence in our lives in Him really affects the way we live our lives each day. Jesus said whoever doesn't pick up their cross and follow him continually cannot be his dicsiple, dead to ourselves and alive to and in Jesus Christ. At times bad things do happen in Romans 8 verses 35 through to 39 is truly God's nuclear warhead; Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Together let's continue to strengthen one another just as you have done through this lovely article & spread the wonderful teachings of the good news and kingdom of Jesus Christ & His example to the healing of many people & to the nations.

Beautifully written and oh so powerful. Your post brought me back down to where I need to be in Him!!

It's crazy how, we, as believers in Him can so easily get knocked off course, stray, lose our focus on Him and what's really the important happenings or places we're at in our lives.

I much prefer to be in the eye of the hurricane than be in the outer bands!!

Thank you for your timely post, Shannon! 😇

God bless ❤️

I needed to hear this message. It is so easy to get knocked off the right track when we are continuously beaten down by the news of our broken world and other life issues. Thank you so much for putting into focus our power to beat back the enemy with our joy, gratitude, peace and calm. Thank you so much for these timely words, my friend.
