FEBRUARY 26th
GAZE AT ME; GLANCE AT PROBLEMS—THIS IS the secret of living victoriously. Your tendency is to gaze at problems for prolonged periods of time, glancing at Me for help. This is natural for someone with a fallen mind living in a fallen world. However, I have called you to live supernaturally, and I have empowered you to do so. The Holy Spirit, who lives in all My followers, enables you to live beyond yourself—to transcend your natural tendencies.
Ask My Spirit to help you fix your gaze on Me. Invite Him to alert you whenever you get overly focused on problems so you can redirect your attention to Me. This is hard work, because it is not only unnatural but also countercultural. Moreover, the evil one and his demons seek to distract you from My Presence. All these influences working together put massive pressure on you to pay attention to your problems—or else! So you need the assistance of My Spirit continually. Ask Him to help you deal with difficulties as needed, while reserving the bulk of your attention for Me—your constant Companion.
MEDITATION:
“fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
—Hebrews 12:2
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
—John 14:16-17
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
—II Corinthians 4:18
TODAY:
Gaze at the Lord, let Him be your focal point and you will be victorious. Rise above the fallen world, the Lord has empowered us to live fruitfully through God's word that is living and all encompassing.
PRAY:
Dear Father, I transcend my natural tendencies and redirect my gaze on you through the Holy Spirit that resides in my heart. I fix my eyes on the unseen which is eternal and not worldly problems and possessions which are temporary. Everything I am searching for in this life is already within me waiting to be discovered. Further, I am never separate from Your unconditional love as it always fills and surrounds me. I thank you in Jesus name, Amen!

Whenever you face a decision, you first can ask yourself a very dangerous question: “If I choose this, am I seeking to please the Lord, or am I seeking to please myself?”
Have a blessed day!?
