Turn Our Focus To The Good Things

As I walked outside early this morning, it was so peaceful. I heard the birds singing, a rooster crowed from a short distance, a squirrel darted up a tree, and there was a little coolness in the air. As I looked around and heard the different sounds, I felt at peace. I felt a calmness. I wanted to take it all in because I saw and heard God's faithfulness and thought, "It is well with my soul."

But maybe you are thinking, my morning did not start out peaceful. My thoughts are not "It is well with my soul" but rather, "It's 6:00 in the morning and life stinks already!" As hard as it is when things are hectic or problematic, we have to put our trust in Him, turn our focus to the good things that bring peace to our mind, heart, and soul and remember He is our refuge, strength, and help even in the hard times.

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

No matter what battle we are facing we can trust God and His faithfulness. He is our refuge and strength, our help with any problem or any trouble at all times.  

Love in Christ,
