WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  THE DEAL

Most everyone has seen the game show Let’s Make A Deal. The contestants have different curtains to choose from. Each one contains a prize or a Zonk. If you get the Zonk it means you don’t get the big prize. People often have a good prize in their hands and choose to risk it all for a bigger prize. The only thing is that prize is not guaranteed.

Still time and again they allow greed to override their good judgment and end up with nothing. This is us standing in front of things the enemy offers, we really don’t know what we are getting until the curtain opens and it’s too late.

We have the ultimate prize of God’s freedom, peace and fellowship, yet we risk it for a lesser prize of sin or temptation that turns out to be a zonk. There is nothing in this life satan can offer that would come close to comparing to what God has done for us. It doesn’t matter what we are facing in life, we need to keep pressing on to the prize that Jesus gives. We do not have time to be distracted by the enemy’s lies and deception.

If he can not draw us into sin then he will try to slow us down in other ways.  He doesn’t want us to run the race that God has set before us. Satan doesn’t want us to get to the finish line strong. He wants to discourage us and get us to give up.

Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

The phrase set my face like a flint, means I will have unwavering, unyielding determination to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Even if we have to do it from a place of what seems like weakness.  When we are weak God is strong, he alone will not allow us to be overtaken by our enemy. We just have to fight our flesh to not give up. God will send angels to fight for us.

Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

To be in God’s presence for all eternity is a prize worth fighting for, so don’t settle for a consolation prize from the enemy.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
