Where Is Our Focus?

[Albert Finch]

1 Corinthians 1:9 -- God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on.)

Seeds of affirmation, meditation, prayer, works, giving and other acts of obedience are ready to burst forth in bud and fruit.

Harvest awaits those who do not yield to discouragement and remain consistent in obedience and diligence.
Grasshoppers of discouragement will assault us when we're weary. Our strength is diminished when we allow our minds to entertain and dwell on information available to our senses. When focused on the turmoil (bad economy) and upheaval of the temporal we'll be overwhelmed. It will not bring us strength, but drain us. Conditions and circumstances will counsel us to give up.
