Distracted, fragmented and scattered? Regain clear focus! Change your focus, fix your gaze on the Lord God. Raise your sound of thankful praise to him. God inhabits the praises of his people and his presence brings into order, gives you new vision and puts things in right perspective. Where the Lord’s presence rests, there is victory!
Yet I know that you are most holy; it’s indisputable. You are God-Enthroned, surrounded with songs, living among the shouts of praise of your princely people. (Psalm 22:3 TPT)
Real relationship requires real communication. Be honest with yourself, God, and others, don’t mask how you really feel, deal with it and allow God to deal with your heart.
We are in a time of uncertainty and transition. The winds of change blow away the things on which we depended that are not God. These things kept us from fully depending on God and putting him first. God calls to us to leave the idols of pride, self-sufficiency, stubbornness, and dependence on self, other people, and material possessions, and not God. He asks us to believe that he goes with us to take out the giants and circumstances, in our land of Promise. Trust with confidence and believe God, letting go of fear, doubt, and unbelief. Enter into your promise with faith. God has made promises to you that he will fulfill, as you obey him. Confess that you haven’t depended on God. Move in obedience to God, for overflowing blessings and the impossible, in the natural, to manifest in your life. God’s blessings bring a surprising increase, good, beneficial and pleasant in your life. What was dead comes to overflowing abundant life, through Christ Jesus.
Do not look in natural strength but to the Lord your God. Nothing is too difficult for him. Look to him for your help and strength. He is your Shepherd and you will not lack any good thing. Give him trusting faith.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57 KJV)
God is not a man who gets exhausted and wants to sleep. He is always with you and does not change. Those who focus their gaze with expectation, hope, trust and rest in God, will find new strength and power. They will spread their wings catching the updraft of Holy Spirit wind and take flight like an eagle. They will soar and have a new attitude, due to the new altitude and fresh vision.
Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31 NLT)

Do you wait for someone to apologize before forgiving them? They mocked, tortured and crucified Jesus without cause, while he gave his life for us. He prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) His love brought forgiveness, while wounded and dying. What amazing love! He died for our sins and forgave, not holding on to his hurt and pain. He did not treat us as we deserved but forgave and released those who mocked and tortured him. His forgiveness makes redemption our reality.
Jesus is our example. Who do you need to forgive and let go from your judgment? Sometimes the person you need to forgive is yourself! Let it go!
Pure Glory
