My prayer for the past week has been for focus. I have been asking God to help me not to be distracted by the worries of this world. Things like school work, friends, etc. When I'm alone I want to be able to completely make time and focus on God. In my prayer, God took me to Luke 10: 38-42. This is the story of Martha and Mary in Martha's house and how even though there was so much work to be done Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to what he said. Martha was distracted by all the preparations and asked for Mary's help.

Jesus replied by saying, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary Has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Ultimately it is up to us to decide what is most important in our lives. Too often do we think that things such as school work are our priority but God is always the best choice. Putting God first and above all things shows the trust that he will teach us management and place our lives in perfect order.

Also what I gained from this message was that the word is our daily bread and Jesus fills us with living water. we all know that if you don't eat or drink water for a week or so you may be a tad bit hungry and even weak. Our immune system becomes weak and we are more susceptible to geting sick. The same applies to our spiritual diet. Without our the word we are weak and things like sickness, worry, stress and worst of all sin are given the room to move in.

We have to stay full. Choose whats better for us. The benefits of that choice will never be taken from us.

Thank You Lord!

According to Wikipedia...

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Collossians 1:15-17 Hmmm...Its cool that this molecule has three parts and our God has 3 in one, the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son Jesus Christ.

Just thought I'd share : ) The video is at the bottom of the page.

God revealed to me some truth behind the Bronze Snake story in Numbers 21:4-9. I am in love with this story and the faith that was taught through it....so here it goes....

When the Israelites were once again complaining about what they don't have and how miserable they were, the Lord sent venomous snakes among them. Many people were bitten and some died.

They begged Moses to pray for God to take the snakes away. The Lord told him to make a snake and put it on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live. So Moses did so and when anyone was bitten and looked at the bronze snake they lived.

For some this story may seem strange. But the point of this story is to illuminate and show the importance of faith.

God gave them (us too!) a way to be saved from their complaining and their sins. It shows how we should put all of our trust in Him. By simply looking up and believing we are all saved.

This story is brought up again in John 3:14-15 which reads:

"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."

So Jesus' death on the cross is what we should continue to look to. We should take our focus off our situations and try not to let them determine how we live and worship. In the midst of any situation we should look to God and have faith.To be saved from sin, to be healed, to be victorious.
I'm trynna see more of Him in my life. And you should too. Lift Him up above your emotions your issues and circumstances. Make Him the head of your life and be saved. Have a faith that keeps you looking at him!

I really like this song it's deep so here are the lyrics....
