Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 1 Nov 2007

In yesterday’s word of encouragement, I wrote this: The power of God, so magnificent that He would be willing to use you and me, to fulfill His plans. This is the truth! I can go on further to say that God has uniquely buried in each of us gifts and talents, despite all our flaws and imperfections. However, today’s word of encouragement is not about our gifts or how great God has gifted each of us. Today’s word of encouragement is to stay the course, set our eyes on God. Sometimes if we are not careful our life’s purpose and growing our gifts and talents can become a distraction. The eagerness to get to the next level or the zeal to fulfill all of life’s purpose in one day!! (This is an exaggeration but I hope you see what I’m trying to say) I don’t know if you ever feel this way, but the moment I capture something, I get so passionate and fired up, but if I’m not careful all this could be a distraction, if I do not set my eyes, fixed them on God. The purpose and plans of God must precede all our other passions in life. I hope we can spend sometime today reflecting on our relationship with God. Does God fit into our life, as though He is secondary? Or are our eyes always fixed on Him? Let’s turn our eyes on God today, call upon the name of the Lord. Psalm 4:3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. © Oct 2007 Shaun Lee
