Focal Point

Elder Sean D. Smith

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

 

- Psalms 121:1-8, NKJV

As you look at the “hill” that is today’s obstacle make God, not the hill, your focal point. In doing so you will realize that your help is greater than your circumstance and His strength/resolve more so than any problem. As you look to the hill acknowledge Who made “it” (regardless of who or what it is) and know that God’s power far exceeds that of the hill presiding before you. Truthfully you ought to (but probably aren’t or won’t) the hill for because of “it” you now have the opportunity to witness God’s grace upon your life - So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” (Zechariah 4:6-7, NKJV). Today stand in awe of God’s grace and mercy upon your life as you look toward the seemingly insurmountable hill before you believing until the end that your help comes from the Lord and He will deliver you.

BE BLESSED!
