Focus on His Voice

Family, I often associate the trials of life with the way I learned to ride a bike when I was a little boy. My big sister, Marion, would run behind me, push me, and let me go. She would keep running with me saying, "You’ve got it! Straighten it up! Watch out! That's it!"

Even though Marion was a good teacher, I still fell plenty of times. (Even though I was an annoying brat of a little brother who probably deserved to be pushed off the bike, she would always try and catch me before I fell) But when I fell, she would always ask if I was okay, help me get up, dust me off, and help me get back going again, the whole time encouraging me that I almost had it. She never got upset with me. She never dwelt on what I was doing wrong, but encouraged me through what I was doing RIGHT! I found, that as long as I focused on her voice encouraging me, I was able to do more than what I could do on my own!

That’s exactly how the Lord Jesus loves us! He wants us to stay focused on His voice, His encouragements, His love and His righteousness! That IS right believing! That IS right living!

He knows you’re going to make some mistakes, some more than others, and others over and over again. He knows you’re going to fall at times. But, He wants you to be confident that He will pick you up every time! He will tell you how proud of you He is!

“You’ve got it! Straighten it up! Watch out! That’s it!”

Hear His voice encouraging you today! He IS NOT DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!! HE IS NOT MAD AT YOU!! He knows what it’s like to ride a bike, too! He suffered ALL your bumps and bruises, scrapes and falls, hurts and pains! He suffered ALL your test and trials! He focused on ALL the wrongs that you did, ONE TIME ONLY, took them upon Himself, then to the cross, and left them there!!

Hear Him today, Family: “That’s it! That’s it! I’m so proud of you! I love you so much!”

Oh, and by the way, He’s picking you up in the air, holding you, and spinning you around while He’s saying this with a huge smile on His face – just like the Good Father He Is!!
