Day 22 & 23, July

Look To What Is Unseen

Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), (who are) purified and holy and well-beloved (by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by) tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, (and) patience (which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper). Colossians 3:12

When you pray for other people, it may seem that they get worse before they get better. The devil wants to discourage you from believing that God is answering your prayers. The apostle Paul said that he learned not to be discouraged even when going through terrible trials. He said to look to the things that are unseen, not to the things that are seen
2 Corinthians 4:18 For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts for ever.

Keep believing, and the power of the Holy Spirit will fill you with joy and peace until you are overflowing with hope.
Romans 15:13 May God, the source of hope, fill you wih all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Always trust God to answer your prayers.












Ignore Distractions

And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. Matthew 17:8

Our own flaws can distract us from keeping our eyes from Jesus. If we think too much about what is wrong with us, we will forget what God can do through us. If we look too much at what we lack, we will forget to be thankful for what we have.

The Bible says to look away from all that will distract us from focusing on Jesus
Hebrews 12:2 Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right-hand side of God's throne.

If your faith begins to waver, quickly get your eyes on Jesus, who is the Source of our faith and the Incentive for your belief. Remember how He endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame of it, for the joy of winning you to Himself. He promises to bring your faith to maturity and perfection.
