Where is your focus today?

Where is your focus?
By Toni Walker

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. - Romans 5:1

To me, this is saying that you will have peace depending on where you put your focus. If you put your focus on Jesus, one who is true and holy, peace will come naturally. But if you put your focus on the things of this world that worry and distress you, you surely won't find living comfort there.

Abraham Lincoln had an interesting quote I thought I'd insert here: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." you definitely need a positive focus to go from failure to failure and keep on trying.

There is a story I heard once about four frogs hopping down a path. Two slipped and fell into a deep hole. The two frogs still on solid ground mocked, yelled, shouted, and made fun of the two in the hole. One frog seemed bound and determined to free himself. Finally, after much effort and a mighty leap he was free. Come to find out, this friend was deaf and thought his friends were encouraging him and not mocking him.

So, where is your focus today?

For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. - 1 Peter 2:15

Have a wonderful day.
