Fix your eyes on Jesus

Karen and I have our devotion time together most mornings.  We lift up in prayer family and friends and we pray for you also.  This morning we read from Sarah Young’s book a meditation appropriate for the caregiver. I want to share with you.  Her book is called “Jesus Calling.”  It is written like God is personally speaking to us each morning. 

“My Face is shining upon you, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding.  You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with Me, your Peace.  As long as you focus on Me, you are safe.  If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of you burdens.  When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and I will life you up.

The closer you live to Me, the safer you are.  Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance.  Fix you eyes on Me, the One who never changes.  By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of My design.  I am always beside you, helping you face today’s waves.  The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you.  Laugh at the future!  Stay close to Me”.

Phil 4:7; Matt 14:30;  Heb. 12:2.

May this be true for you.
