Fix our eyes on Jesus

This morning I started off my morning with my usual feeding with Abigail and then a little snuggle time in bed. We ventured into the kitchen so I could have my hot cup of coffee, then off to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then, it is play time for Abigail and my time in the Word.
I have been finding myself thirsty every morning to get into Gods Word. It has been so refreshing. But, who can relate: when you are dedicated to studying Gods Word you slowly begin to get tested and taunted by the enemy?
Well, it never fails that Satan begins throwing things in my face, emotions, physical appearance when I am striving to grow and walk with God. As reading through the Old Testament I am greatly encouraged to keep persevering knowing that I serve a faithful God no matter what the circumstances are. As I was being attacked I was reading an email from someone that told me some very sad news. Her best friends husband had been cheating on her for over a year. This woke me up and brought much heaviness to my heart. It is so easy for us to get caught up in our own pity party and daily routines and forget about so many others out there who are hurting and going through much more difficult times than we could ever imagine.
We need to fix our eyes on Jesus every morning and keep the focus off our selves.
If you have been out of Gods Word for quite some time I encourage you to pick up your bible today and read for 15 minutes. You will be amazed what you will learn about God.
