Stay focused on God

August 30, 2019

By Stewart Holloway

Where is your focus?

We are prone to look at what is right around us, especially the struggles – the schedule, the bills, the diagnosis, the aggravating coworker, the disappointments. If it’s a hardship, we focus on it. But 2 Corinthians 4 challenges us to stop all that.

Lift up your eyes and look to God today. He is the source of joy, blessing, love, hope, peace, and whatever good you need.

Stewart Holloway is pastor of the First Baptist Church in Pineville. This editorial first appeared on his Facebook page.
