Today’s Scripture 

“We have the same Spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says, “First I believed, then I spoke in faith.” So we also first believe then speak in faith. We do this because we are convinced that he who raised Jesus will raise us up with him, and together we will all be brought into his presence. Yes, all things work for your enrichment so that more of God’s marvelous grace will spread to more and more people, resulting in an even greater increase of praise to God, bringing him even more glory! So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.”             

2 Corinthians 4:13-18

Today’s Thought 

You must control your focus in every environment… You can’t control the environments you enter, but you can control your focus within them… Focus can settle you down in every environment you're in and it will keep you connected to the unseen world of faith.

Today’s Confession

Father God, because of your Word and my relationship with you, I can enter into any situation with my focus on you… When I can’t control the various environments I walk into, I can control my response to them… The truth of your Word remains in my heart, I am connected to you and I will abide in peace. Thank you for the power of focus in every area of my life.
