True victory for the child of God comes when there is still peace in the soul right in the midst of the raging storm-when tragedy strikes and one can still say, "It is well with my soul." This can only happen when you are looking at Jesus instead of your circumstances. -JoyceMeyerQuote.
I took that quote from a blog post I wrote back in September 2010 called "You Are More Than a Conqueror" (if you'd like to go look it up) but this part stood out especially to me tonight and I sooo needed to hear it. Thought some of you might as well. I have realized so sooo much these last few days that satan will try to distract you in ANY WAY POSSIBLE. Don't let him. Look at Jesus instead of your circumstances!!!!! I have about a million different times a day where I'm 'distracted' by other things and start to lose focus. I start to worry. Get angry. Get jealous. Get sad. Its just so many things, I'm learning, that satan is using to try to get me to focus on anything but Christ. And ya know what? When your focus is on something other than Him, its not on Him.....what I'm trying to say is, not all 'things' are bad things to focus on. But when your main focus isn't on Christ, satan got his way. And that opens up doors for him. That has been such a struggle for me lately! But even if it takes 24098230982034 times a day to lay all these "things" down at His feet and get my mind back on Him...I'll keep on doing it! Bc He has won the victory!!! And I? Am His!!!
