“Focus on God’s Promises, Not the Problem”

Happy Monday and God's Blessings,

“Focus on God’s Promises, Not the Problem”

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

Beloved, in life we are often faced with challenges that test our faith, patience, and perseverance. Problems have a way of magnifying themselves, making us feel small and powerless. But the truth is this: whatever we magnify becomes greater in our eyes. If we focus on the problem, it grows larger; but when we focus on God’s promises, our faith grows stronger.

A good lesson from the twelve people sent to explore Canaan, ten saw giants, but two (Joshua and Caleb, saw God’s promise). The difference wasn’t the land; it was their focus. The ten focused on the problem, but Joshua and Caleb focused on God’s Word. They said, “We are well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30). Hold on to the TRUTH by believing in the power and faithfulness of God who made the promise.

When we fix our eyes on the problem, fear takes over. But when we fix our eyes on the promise, faith takes the lead. God never fails to honor His word. Every promise in Scripture carries the same power that created the heavens and the earth.

Abraham believed God when it seemed impossible. Romans 4:20-21 says, “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.”

So, no matter what you’re facing today, whether it’s sickness, financial hardship, or uncertainty about the future; choose to stand on the promises of God. Say to yourself, “My God shall supply all my needs.” Say, “By His stripes I am healed.” Say, “If God is for me, who can be against me?”

Remember: storms may come but promises never fail. Problems change, but God’s Word remains the same.

Let your focus shift from how big the mountain is to how mighty your God is. For every problem, there is a promise; and for every tear, there is a testimony in the making.

Keep your heart anchored, your eyes lifted, and your faith rooted in what God has said, not in what circumstances show. Because the moment you stop staring at the problem and start standing on the promise, victory begins to manifest.

You are Blessed! You are a Winner! Enjoy the Week Ahead!
