Are You Staying Focused On The One That Does Not Change and Yet He Can Change All Things?

What are you looking at and what are you focused on?   It's good to see all that is going on around you but at the same time you have to see it in the right perspective.   Your perspective is your point of view.   It is your attitude or your way of regarding something.    What we tend to do is look at people, places, and things and we form an opinion based on what we see.    We have to stop doing that.   We have to begin to form our opinions based on what God said and not what we see.

What we have to understand is the fact that what we see is subject to change.   During the course of a day, our surroundings change from daylight to nighttime.    In the process of cooking a meal, food changes from being raw to being well done.   UNDERSTAND ... THINGS CHANGE.   Situations change and we have to keep our eyes on the One that does not change and yet He is able to change all things.   God and His Word NEVER changes.   Yet His promise in His Word is that He would work all things together in our lives for our good.  He has the ability to change what what we see as bad and make something good come out of it.

Keep your eyes on God and stay focused on what He has said in His Word.   When you are focused on something, you pay particular attention to it.   One definition of focus is adapt to the prevailing level of light and become able to see clearly.    God wants you to see this world and your life clearly through the light of His Word.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
1 Corinthians 13:11-13
King James Version (KJV)

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
