Life Lines
By Linda Lariscey
KEEP YOUR FOCUS
...looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV).
When asked by His disciples to increase their
faith, Jesus had a surprising answer. He told
them if their faith was the size of a mustard
seed, they could say to a mountain to move,
and it would. What did He mean by this incredible and encouraging
statement? The answer is in the seed. Though the mustard seed is
small, it produces a tree that grows large. Your faith which is little has
the capacity to multiply and change your world.
Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. Apart from Him, you can
do nothing. Your faith in God can move mountains if you are looking in
the right direction. You cannot work up faith. But your faith can work you
up! It happens when you keep your focus on Jesus. He is the source
of confidence in your life. In fact, when you die to yourself, it is Jesus's
faith in you that will emerge.
Fear is Satan's weapon of choice, and he skillfully wields it. Faith
fueled by love is the antidote for fear. God uses every trial you face to
grow your faith. You may dread trials and afflictions, but only through
them will your confidence rise to move mountains. When times of crises,
spring on you take up the shield of faith, resist the devil, and watch him
retreat. By faith, Noah built an ark, and when the storm came, He and
his family rode it out in safety. Go into every trial with your mind set
on Christ, believing that He will deliver you out of each one! Lose your
focus, and you're done. Keep your focus, and you've won.
