God-centered thinking does not deny the reality of our present situation, but it does put things into eternal perspective. Seen in the light of God’s awesome power the challenges we face no longer intimidate us. With God’s help we will overcome. What at first appears to be obstacles will prove to be opportunities.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”

— Isaiah 43:2-3 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, help us to focus on You and Your sufficiency rather than on our circumstances. In Your Holy name we pray. Amen.
