“We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends
from start to finish. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross
because of the joy He knew would be His afterward. Now He is seated
in the place of highest honor beside God’s throne in heaven.”
Hebrews 12:2 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 10 - Have you realized that if something can quantitatively capture your focus, it eventually alters your entire life? Many stories and charming little poems have been written about a tiny, yet intriguing insect. Known to scientists as the “ladybird beetle,” these colorful insects do not just arbitrarily flit through the air, landing on any old site—they possess a focus, an expressed concentration.

The emotions you feel, whether good or bad, reveal what has avidly captured your attention. Choose your focus! Don’t live discouraged, sad, or habitually depressed. Happiness, joy, and peace can becomepermanent fruit, skillfully gleaned from your spiritual garden.

Why harbor negativity? It only thwarts comprehensive, satisfying achievement. Negative thoughts restrain you from pursuing what you desire. If you think you can’t, you won’t, and you will never walk in the destiny God has for your life. Without paying strict attention to their landing strips, the ladybug will never attain continual sustenance. Anything you want requires you to passionately pursue it; otherwise, you will fall short every time. While focusing on the sustenance of God’s Word, go after everything He promised you.

Father, I thank You that I fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of my faith, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of Your throne.
