Job 5:8-9
8 "If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him.9 He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.
NLT
Too many times we forget that the God we serve is the one who created the heavens and the earth; the whole universe, all that we can both see and cannot see. He made them all. We also forget that there is no one as powerful as Him for all power belongs to Him (see: Psalm 62:11). All demons, wicked people; evil doers and the even the devil are subjected to His authority, little wonder Paul stated in Romans 8:31 "if the lord be for us who can be against us?" he did not say this because there'll be no oppositions for surely there'll be as written in Isaiah 54:15. But these oppositions when placed before the almighty God are nothing considerable-they will always fall for your sake. The problem often times is that we focus more on our problems, adversaries, pains, faults, weaknesses than we do on God; we forget that He can deliver us.
As long as Peter’s eyes were on Jesus, he walked on water, but immediately He took his eyes off Jesus to focus on the waves, he began to sink (see Matt 14:30). Does this send a signal to you? Are you focusing too much on your oppositions, faults, weaknesses? Are you not spending too much energy and time worrying?
Make a change today; stop worrying and fix your eyes on Jesus. Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you. Hold on to Jesus for He wouldn't fail you.
Go into today with the confident assurance that God is on your side and victory is sure.
Prayer: Thank God for bringing you to this day. Ask the lord to help you always fix your eyes on Him; that you will have a Jesus consciousness at all times. Commit your day and the rest of the week to his mighty hand.
