Instead of thinking about what God can do, we need to think
about God Himself - the fact is that He is the answer to every question. The
Bible is filled with promises for those who focus on God. “All who seek the Lord
will praise him, their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.” Today,
concentrate on God - lay aside immediate concerns and worries, and spend
time with Him – remember, He is the great I Am

“If I ... tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me
to you,’ they will ask me, “What is his name?” Then what should I tell them?
God replied to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’” - Exodus 3:13-14 NLT
How often we
think in terms of specific situations. The needs of the moment.
Problems and
challenges that stand before us. These are practical concerns.
We can start
thinking about what God can do for us. Just the help He can provide, right now!
In many ways we
need a different focus.
Instead of
thinking about what God can do, we need to think about God Himself. The fact is
that He is the answer to every question.
In His
presence, we have maximum security. There, we are safe and blessed.
There, we grow
in confidence of His sovereignty. There, He teaches us and provides His wisdom.
There, every
enemy is defeated and every need met.
There, we have
His peace and fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11).
David realized this when he described the Lord as his rock,
fortress, shield, “the power that saves me,” his “place of safety”
(Psalm 18:2).
He was
everything! All they needed.
The Bible is filled with promises for those who focus on God. “All
who seek the Lord will praise him, their hearts will rejoice with everlasting
joy” (Psalm 22:26).
David realized
that his highest priority should be seeking the Lord.
The one thing
he desired?
The one thing
he sought?
“That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple” (Psalm 27:4,
NKJV).
Lay aside
immediate concerns and worries, and spend time with Him.
Remember. He is
the great I Am.
Prayer
Father, help me to focus on You. Fill me with Your presence. Renew
me by Your Spirit. Deepen my relationship with You. I worship You. In Jesus’
name. Amen. Pray that the Inspiration Ministries’ staff would have a deeper
relationship with God.
