Where is your focus?

Have you ever found yourself in a place of constantly worrying? Maybe it is about the day you are about to embark on, maybe it is about a big decision you are to make, or maybe it is about a certain relationship or circumstance. 

One of my favorite scriptures to read lately is Matthew 6:25-34….
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”


It is such a relief that God takes care of us and not only that he takes care of us but that he WANTS to take care of us. He finds us valuable. If we keep our eyes and our focus on Him, he will take care of the rest. We don’t need to consider tomorrow and what will happen but rather we can focus on today knowing that God is control. He is leading us, he is guiding us, he is showing us the way in which we need to go and which decisions need to be made, etc. I encourage you to not spend your time worrying about today or tomorrow but instead to focus your attention on the Lord and what He has for you today! He has good plans for you today!
