Are you going through a storm? There is a
common belief among believers that at any given time we are living in a
storm, leaving a storm, or entering a storm. Regardless of where you
find yourself, I want to share the second of three truths (three “W”s)
that help us go through: “W”
Walk towards/fix your eyes on Jesus. Hebrews 12:1b-3 “…And let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus,
the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of
the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from
sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
As
we walk towards Jesus, and realized that he suffered beyond belief for
us, we are filled with hope and we are not over taken by our
circumstances.
Years ago a woman was going
through a difficult time and she was loosing hope. One day her six year
old daughter brought home a present from school for her mom. She said to
her mother: "I made this for you to look at when things get bad." The
mom opened the box. In it was a cross made of sea shells. The mom was
overwhelmed by the gift and promised to look at the sea shell cross
whenever things got bad. Things did indeed get bad. And the mom was true
to her word and looked at the cross. Each time she looked at the cross
peace God fell over her and things did not seem so bad. So, are facing
storm? WALK towards/fix your eyes on Jesus.
