Isaiah 26:3 ESV "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."No matter how crazy it got, I kept my mind on Him! Today's verse shares with us about keeping focus on Christ and not on the situation surrounding us! As the smoke got thicker, the flames got higher and the heat became more intense, I kept focus on Christ and that I would get out alive! While battling a warehouse fire, the situation turned ugly fast and the chief ordered everyone out for fear of roof collapse. Making our way out, despite the surroundings getting worse by the minute, meant keeping focus not on the fear of death but on Christ and the joy of life. We all will face those moments when the situation will seem hopeless but if we know Jesus Christ personally, we can focus on Him and find hope for a better outcome. Let's get our eyes checked to make sure our focus is on Him and not on the situation around us! peace, tom
