Is Jesus the central focus of our lives?

Are we, the beloved of the Lord, putting Jesus Christ as our central focus? Are we still looking at our circumstances and judge them based on our senses? Are we still measuring our standing with God based on our performance?

Jesus Christ is there before the foundation of the earth. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega. His one single and perfect sacrifice at the cross is efficacy for all ages, from the first man to the last man who will ever live. God demonstrated His perfect love for the human kind at the cross where Christ, with His outstretched arms, declared the work of redemption completed!

With that one completely complete work at the cross, whosoever accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior shall be saved. He shall be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. He is drafted into the kingdom of God. He is a son of God. We inherit whatever Jesus has. We can have the peace, the peace which surpasses all understanding, that He has bequeathed to us. Oh! What a glorious God and what marvelous work has Jesus accomplished at the cross!

When Jesus declared "It is finished!" at the cross some two thousand years ago and rose from the grave three days later, it meant the reconciliation process has been completed. We are been reconciled with God through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And because He was hang on the cross, He has taken away all our curses. We are now free from any punishment from God for all punishments have been exacted on the body of Christ. No curse shall befall us as well.

With that one sacrificial act at the cross by Christ Jesus, all blessings in the bible are ours to proclaim. We can have what Christ has. We shall be abundantly supplied for in all things. We shall be in robust health for by His stripe, we are made completely whole.

Circumstances may seem to be contradicting with what the bible says. It may seem to be so real that we just take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the issues at hand. Sometimes, the going may be so tough that we completely forget we have a mighty God who is able to do all things, including turning our bad situations for our good!

Symptoms of diseases or illnesses may appear in/on our bodies but they shall not take root in/on our bodies. This is the promise of God that we shall be healthy and live a good long life. For death and life are in the power of the tongue. We thank God for our health everyday and proclaim victory over our circumstances, regardless of how bad it may seem. Continue to believe God only has good thoughts toward us and He wants the best for us. Continue to trust in His love for us. Believe God will always turn all things for our good.

Look to Jesus. Behold Him. See Him in every situation and issue. See Him taking control of the situation. Trust Him to provide a way of escape when it seems there is no end to the difficult situation. Cast all your cares at His feet for He cares. Don't rely on our human strength but instead rely on His unending love for us to see us through. Guard all your heart above all guardings for out of it springs forth the issues of life.

Continue to trust in God for every providence. His grace is sufficient for the day. Live the let go life and see the wondrous work of God manifesting mightily in our lives. Hallelujah!
