Cling to God's Promises

What do you think about? 

The thoughts that fill your mind are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview. 

Have you ever heard the term, "focus forward"? "Focus forward" means actively directing your attention, energy, and mindset toward future goals and desired outcomes rather than dwelling on past mistakes, traumas, or current obstacles. It is a proactive approach to overcoming challenges by letting go of what cannot be changed and concentrating on what can be created next. 

As humans, we have the tendency to head towards the things that we focus on. What do you want to move towards?

If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting. 

Isaiah 12:2 reminds us that we belong to a God who is faithful to keep His promises. This God rescues us and fights for us. So when we belong to God, we have nothing to fear—all we need to do is cling to Him and wait on Him to act. 

So as you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think: 

• God will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22)
• God’s peace will guard your heart. (Philippians 4:7)
• God delights over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
• God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8)
• God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. (Psalm 46:1)
• In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. (Romans 8:37
• God will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
• God’s perfect love casts out all your fear. (1 John 4:18)
• Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:38-39)
• God’s not done with you. (Philippians 1:6)

Remember to focus on the important things and allow these truths to fill your mind today!
