KEEPING YOUR FOCUS ON JESUS
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 26 JULY 2024
In our fast-paced world, distractions are everywhere. From the constant buzz of notifications on our phones to the never-ending stream of tasks and responsibilities, it can be challenging to keep our focus on what truly matters. As believers, our ultimate focus should be on Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith. Any wonder, the apostle Paul encourages us to “fix our eyes on Jesus.”
SCRIPTURE: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” — Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The call to fix our eyes on Jesus is not a one-time action but a continuous effort. It involves deliberately turning our gaze away from the distractions of this world and directing our attention to Jesus. When we focus on Him, we are reminded of His love, sacrifice, and the hope we have in Him. Our perspective shifts from our temporary struggles to the eternal joy that awaits us. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When we keep our focus on Jesus, we experience peace, strength, and guidance. In the midst of life’s challenges, we find comfort in His presence and reassurance in His promises.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, as you go about your day, remember to take moments to redirect your focus to Jesus. Whether through a simple prayer, reading a passage of Scripture, or reflecting on His goodness, let Jesus be the center of your thoughts and actions.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, help us to keep our eyes fixed on You. In a world full of distractions, give us the discipline and desire to seek You above all else. Remind us of Your love and sacrifice and help us to follow Your example of steadfast focus on God’s will. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: As we keep our focus on Jesus, may we find peace and strength in His presence, and may our lives reflect His glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Hebrew 12:2
