Another reminder to focus

Pete Porter has some very sensible advice at Bryans Nonsense (HT: Scotwise). In his post, "What You Looking At, Pete has this to say:

This is the problem with us, we're looking at ourselves. Why look at us? We have been told to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. If we only see us, then we will see lack, confusion, and mission impossible!

And that's all too true. We're weak. We sin. So what should we do?

Don't look at your lack, look at Christ's sufficient supply. Wisdom? It's in Him. Health, it's in Him. Strength, it's in Him. What ever you need, it's in Him. Your life is in Him. And all the promises to you will be fulfilled, in Him who lives in you. Focus on Him, he is the force and the power and the life that is in us. If God be for us, who can be against us?

Amen.
