Keep
your mind focused on your goals.
As Jesus went about doing His work, He was often confronted by challenges. Once, some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” Normally, that statement was enough to put fear into His heart. But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.” In other words, Jesus made them realize He was unstoppable. Clearly, Jesus didn’t allow
challenges, fear or intimidation to stop Him from fulfilling His goal.Although, He was God in human form, He had to face a lot of
challenges before achieving His goal. Interestingly, Jesus didn’t achieve His
goal without a battle with Satan. He had to confront and overcome the enemy
before fulfilling His purpose. If Satan would have the audacity to attack
Jesus, He would do the same thing to anyone. And no matter who you are or how
talented you are, the enemy will come at you with all sorts of tricks aimed at
stopping you. To overcome the devil, do what Jesus did. Keep
your mind focused on your goals.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, send workers to the harvest field. Amen.
