Concentration

In the face of distractions, do you concentrate on God's Word? When things are trying to draw you astray, are you remembering God's commands and promises? When others seek to bring you harm, are you meditating on Scripture? Whatever comes your way, dear reader, keep God's Word in mind. His promises are always true. His revealed character does not change. His Word is still reliable. His commands are still trustworthy. Don't let distractions draw you away from His Word. Run to it instead.

How Do I React?

People have said mean things to me. People have said mean things about me. How do I react? I'll admit, I don't always react well. Sometimes I will dwell on what they said and stew over it. I may get angry. I may get upset. I may break down crying. But I handle things much better when I meditate on God's Word. Meditating on who He is helps me to take the focus off of what happened. Focussing on the promises He has made to me help to remember His truth and permanence. Remembering His Wod helps me to set my mind on eternal things and not things that can and should be forgotten.
