Look beyond your situation. We
focus sometimes on the wrong things.
Philippians 4:8; Think on positive and good things. Focus. Will we waste
time focusing on the negative? We are more than conquerors. Deut 28:6; We are
blessed coming in and going out. Find the good in the negative. We are children
of the living God, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens
us. God has blessed us with life. Change
your focus. Job 22:28; Believe and decree! What are you focusing on? Look
beyond your situation! 2 Kings 6:20; Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and
let him see!” We look at situations in the natural but not in the spiritual.
Elisha's servant saw a disaster but Elisha saw a miracle. What do you see? The
difference between Elisha and the servant was the anointing. Anointing allows
you to look at the situation but not focus on it because you can see the hand
of God working on your side. If the Lord is keeping you, why are you
worried? Praise God in the midst of your
situation! The anointing destroys the yoke in your life! God has an army all
around you! Do not be discouraged! Can you look beyond your situation? Can you
see the miracles? Can you say that you trust the Lord? Do you believe what you say? Focus on what God
will do, not what the devil is doing. Lord, thank you for working in my behalf!
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
