Yes, there are so many places throughout Scripture that tell us to set our focus on God. It amazes me how skillful I am in ignoring them! Thanks.

You have such a great way of getting inside the scene and bringing it to life with your observations... When I just can't stand it {whatever "it" may be) anymore, and I want to say to God, "But don't You UNDERSTAND??? It has to happen NOW!!!" (oh, the arrogance of saying that to Him!), the words that hold me steady (when I get around to remembering them and choosing to hang on to them) come from Ps.31:14-15a: "But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say, "You are my God. My times are in Your hand..." All through that Psalm, David alternates between listing his great problems and choosing to put his eyes/faith/trust in the LORD and praising Him. I wish I did the latter more often... Great thoughts, Steve, thanks! You have such a great way of getting inside the scene and bringing it to life with your observations…
