>It is Satan's constant study to keep the minds of men occupied with those
>things which will prevent them from obtaining the knowledge of God.
>He seeks to keep them dwelling upon what will darken the understanding and
>discourage the soul.

>We are in a world of sin and corruption,

>The Saviour said: "Because iniquity
>shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold".
> Many fix their eyes upon the terrible wickedness existing around them,
> the apostasy and weakness on every side,
>and they talk of these things until their hearts
> are filled with sadness and doubt.
> They keep uppermost before the mind the masterly
>working of the archdeceiver and dwell upon the discouraging features of their
>experience,
>while they seem to lose sight of
>the heavenly Father's power
> and His matchless love.

>All this is as Satan would have it.
> It is a mistake to think of the enemy of righteousness as clothed with so
>great power,
>when we dwell so little upon the love of God
> and His might.
>We must talk of the mightiness of Christ.
> We are utterly powerless to rescue ourselves

>The Son of the Highest has strength

>Who is Your Focus On""

> A bee hive is a very intricate design and this illustration

>Jesus Christ.
> In a bee hive, the center is occupied by
>the Queen Bee,
> everything exists around her.
>
> If, we were to model our lives as this bee hive,
>who would be in the Center?
> Even as Christians, we need to be constantly aware
> of who our focus is on,
> on a moment to moment relationship with Jesus Christ.
>
>The beehive at the beginning of this devotional is one
> that illustrates the worldly ways.
> If we put material objects, money, friends, family in the center
> of our beehive as being more IMPORTANT then Jesus Christ, who do you think
>you are pushing out?
>
>You are pushing Jesus Christ out!
>
> That is why we must stay in tune with what the Lord Jesus is
> telling us daily in his word, and through prayer.
>Then, the things that he does in our life will line up,
>you will reap rewards here on earth.
>
> We all have heard how God sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ
>to die for us, so that we may live eternally with him.
> By accepting, Jesus Christ into our lives,
> he forgives us our sins, and He wipes away our past mistakes,
>if we choose to let go of them.
>
> Now, think about the first bee hive,
> if we are walking on the fence part of the time
>during our walk with Jesus, then our focus is
> taken off of Jesus for that time.
> We start walking back into the world,
>and we start acting like we did before,
> Jesus came into our lives and started making a change.

>If you are walking with Jesus and you have someone in your life whose

> You will be held accountable to Jesus,

>When, the Lord Jesus returns to collect us,
