Come What May

The Excellent Focus On What They're Going "To" While The Average Complain About What They're Going "Through".

"Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)... who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Jesus, our greatest example, demonstrates the power of focus. James 1:2 tells us that life is going to bring many storms and tests our way. Only those who focus on the promises of God will survive. Not understanding your purpose will cause any obstacle to appear insurmountable. It is important to ask ourselves, "Where am I headed in life? What do I want to accomplish, possess, and become?" Those who have no clear purpose, have no internal fortitude to press beyond their current circumstances.We must always remember - our lives move in the direction of our focus. Although what we are going through may seem too difficult to overcome, it is imperative that we focus on the victory that awaits us. Just as an athlete focuses on running the race to win the prize, so we must have a clear distinct image of the victory rather than the storm. As we focus on what we are going to, Heaven will give us the strength to make it through.
