FOCUS ON FAITH, NOT YOUR WORRIES


One day John Wesley was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness of God. He said, “I do not know what I shall do with all this worry & trouble.”

At the same moment Wesley saw a cow looking over a stone wall. “Do you know,” asked Wesley, “why that cow is looking over the wall?”

“No,” said the man who was worried.

Wesley said, “The cow is looking over the wall because she cannot see through it. That is what you must do with your wall of trouble - look over it & avoid it.”

Faith enables us to look past our circumstances and focus on Christ. - Walter B. Knight. (ministry127.com)

“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” - Henry Ward Beecher.

“Worry is like a rocking chair - it keeps you moving but doesn't get you anywhere.” - Corrie Ten Boom.

“Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.” - Corrie Ten Boom.

Heb 11:1 (KJV): “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
