“IF YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE…
…you have to set your focus on God. He is the One who has all the power. He s the One who loves you unconditionally. He is the One who has made promises He’s going to keep. He is the One who never changes. Great faith has focus on God that doesn’t waver.” Heehaw!!!
That’s from my guy, Dr. Charles Stanley giving me some excellent advice today in helping me deal with a frustrating situation. Thanks, Dr. Stanley, my eyes are on God and not this crazy world! I know that I’m His Beloved, and even though the love and approval from others may come and go, His love and promises remain steadfast. Our God is faithful! So, no matter what may be going on in your world today, keep your focus on God, doing whatever He asks of you, knowing there is nothing too complicated for Him. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!
With our focus on God, we can enjoy our lives knowing He is with us in every moment. I loved my day yesterday with my sons. I first woke up and went to sit next to Emmie, telling him how he had changed my life. The school here has engrained a substantial philosophy in him that he must work hard every day to get all A’s. I was sincerely thanking Him for being my influencer and that I’m following him by stepping up my game by working hard every day. So, I told you guys how Apple Music is God’s new way of talking to me, and incredibly a couple of hours after me thanking Emmie for setting the example for me to work hard every day, this song plays:
“I work hard every day-ay-ay-ay
I work hard, I work hard every day-ay-ay-ayy, yeah
But today is my day, it’s my day
And no matter what they say, it’s my day” – Everyday by Logic & Marshmallow
Believe it or not, this was God showing me His love and attention. For me to have that conversation with my son, thanking him for inspiring me to work hard every day, and for Apple Music to play this song hours later was all God coming through to let me know that His invisible Presence is always with me.
Then, out in the food store yesterday, I felt God nudging me to stop what I was doing and just listen to the lyrics of this song:
“The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, ’cause
There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb” – The Climb by Miley Cyrus
I took this as a message from God Himself that He wanted me to lighten up and enjoy these moments more. Not so stressed out about what’s on the other side of the mountains but just enjoying the climb, knowing He has my back and He is with me every little step of the way. I came home with my sons so happy, deciding to enjoy every moment of my life, despite the disappointments, sucking up every moment of enjoyment, knowing that God’s Presence is always with me.
