Focus On God's Majesty! Part I

[Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died (not going to died but you are already dead-since you accepted Christ) (reference Gal. 2:20), and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4 New King James Version

Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Praise be to God for His Word. We are crucified and raised from the dead with Christ and are no longer in bondage to sin, sickness, or any other thing. No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. We do not have to sit idol by and accept anything that comes our way. We are dead and our lives are hidden in Christ. So, let us keep our focus on God, on things which are above, and not on things going on around us; it is a trick of the devil to get your focus off God. We, as Saints, the called of God, must be obedient to the Word of God. The Word says we are to walk by faith and not by sight. What we see is only temporary but what we cannot see is eternal. Let us keep our focus on God and not on what is happening around us. Don't Panic! God is still in control of your life. He knows exactly what is going on and He is working it out in you and through you. Don't take matters in your own hand; stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Be still and hear the still small voice of the Lord. Be still know God is God. Be still and put ALL your trust in Him and He will bring you out.

Remember, your trials and tribulations will show you just how much you really trust God. I know, I said for years, "Oh I trust God." But God showed me I did not trust Him, I trusted in the money I was receiving every other month. But after God allowed that to cease, I had to trust God for real. Now, I know God is my only source and He is the One who bless me and take care of me. So, I know if He take care of me, He will take care of you because He said no good thing will He withhold from us. I have found out that the things we think is good for us, God says it is not. So, now, I say Lord let thy will be done in my life. I do not want anything that God does not want for me. Let God rule and reign in your life and you will not be sorry.

Be blessed,
Dr. Hooks
