The late Neville Johnson said, ‘WE BECOME WHAT WE BEHOLD’. Whatever you and I Focus on will be a powerful factor in shaping our lives in the coming year and beyond.

103 Praise the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, praise His holy name.
² Praise the Lord, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
³ Who forgives all your sins,
and heals all your diseases;
⁴ Who redeems your life from the pit,
and crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
⁵ Who satisfies your desires with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103

That’s something we may need to get better at in the days ahead, BEHOLDING GOD.

²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “BEHOLD! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ John 1

The late Neville Johnson said, ‘WE BECOME WHAT WE BEHOLD’. (Focus on and think about) Whatever you and I Focus on will be a powerful factor in shaping our lives in the coming year and beyond.

May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
