Fix Your Gaze On The Word
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: That the man of
God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works
(2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Through the Scriptures, God reveals Himself,
His Kingdom, His will, nature, and character to
us. In addition, He lets you know who you are through
His Word. You can’t know yourself better than God
does. So, whatever He says about you-His description
of you in His Word-is the reality.
Our lives are influenced by what we hear every
day. The things you hear and give attention to control
your happiness, your joy, the decisions you make,
and everything about you. That’s why God wants us
to rather hear, and give attention to His Word only,
because that’s the only information guaranteed to
make your life better; change you from glory to glory!
The Bible says, “But we all, with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Hallelujah!
It’s the reason studying and meditating on God’s
Word is of great value. The Word is like an album; you
just keep seeing pictures of you, and it gets better all
the time. But if you take your focus off the Word, you
start looking like everything else that you see around you.
Never take your focus away from the Word
of God, because your glory is in the Word. Refuse
to give attention or consideration to the negative
circumstances which you can see with your natural
eyes, for they’re subject to change. Rather, fix your
gaze on the eternal realities in God’s Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the entrance of your Word that
brings light to my spirit. Your Word is truth, and therein,
I see the true pictures of who I am: prosperous, victorious,
courageous, and wise. Your Word is in my heart and in my
mouth today; and as I behold the glory of God in the mirror of
God, I’m metamorphosed, from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
