Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones…—Joshua 4:2-3 (NIV)
When you look back at your life, do you focus on the successes, celebrations and victories? Remember the amazing moments of God’s work in your life. These “stones of remembrance” help you overcome the stumbling blocks and weather life’s storms.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You help me. I will remember them deep in my heart and turn to them when I need hope and reassurance of Your glory.
