I have had this 2 by 12 laid out in my driveway to walk on because of the mud . (We don’t have a driveway yet) The mud has dried up but I had to move the 2 by 12 to the roof to be able to walk on to work. When the 2 by 12 was laid in the driveway I walked on it every day and never gave it another thought . The moment that I put it up on the roof , everything changed. I started thinking about the potential of falling Where before I’d never thought about falling.
My focus changed, my outlook changed, my thought process changed. Instead of focusing on being sure footed I started focusing on what would happen if I fell to the ground. There is a reason they tell you don’t look down.
Matthew 21:21 (ESV) 21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
Where is your focus today?
Are you placing all of your attention on the problem or you placing all of your attention on the promise.
You don’t need to Strengthen your faith you need to starve your doubt.
Stop trying to create the absence of sin and start cultivating the presence of God
