Choosing God over Fear

I see a lot of things on the news, social media, and talks about what others feel is going wrong right now. I hear about suicide on the rise, what’s going on in the White House, mass shootings, and the list goes on. With all the noise, it’s time to take a deep breath, keep your eyes on God, focus on the good, and know you’re built for this!

Keeping your eyes on God is important! When we focus more on worldly things, it pushes us to confusion, sadness, and sometimes fear. I come to tell you that when we focus on God more and keep our eyes on him, goodness is sure to follow us and give us peace. How to focus on God is easy! Simply start spending more time with him, worship, and read his word!

Focus on the good, because negativity only weighs us down! Beware of what’s going on in the world, but don’t let it suffocate you. Don’t miss your blessings by focusing on the troubles in this world. Know that God is always good, so look for things that bring us up, not down. Pay attention to what’s going right in this world, not what’s going wrong.

You’re built for this! I love saying I’m a soldier in the army of the Lord. What we think is too much, God says that with Him, we can thrive and survive through it all. Life is too short to worry and fear when God is already here with us. Prices might be going up, the news might be bad, and some people might be losing their minds, but tell yourself, ‘I’m built for this,’ and ‘I can make it through everything!’

Whoever you are and whatever you do, focus on the good and know that God loves you and has your back!
