Have You Considered Jesus?

What are you doing today? Have you considered Jesus in the equation of your day? Have you considered Him as the source of your strength today? Have you considered that He has the answers for your day? Have you considered that He will make you a success today and take you over to the other side? Have you considered His power and goodness for you and toward you? Have you given your day to Jesus? He knows what to do for you and through you in every situation of life.

When we consider something, we ponder it and think on it and meditate on it. I can’t think of anyone better to consider than Jesus for our day every day. He has all the answers. He is the source of all good for our lives.

Every day we have the choice of what we will consider. Today let’s make the right choice. His name is Jesus.

Consider Jesus.

When we consider Jesus, we are considering all that He is. What is He? He is healing and health. He is prosperous. He is righteous. He is Truth. He is the Word. He is Love. He is Life. He is Light. He is Joy. He is Peace. He is Goodness. He is Kindness. He is faithful. He is stable. He is the fullness of God expressed here on this earth for you and me.

Where do you find your mind going today? Bring it back to Jesus, the One Who loves you and cares for you affectionately, the One Who will produce joy in your life. Having peace or joy or tranquility does not have to depend on who you are around or where you are. It depends on the focus you and I have. We must focus on Jesus. We focus on Him when everything is good and we focus on Him when things are coming against us. He is to be our constant focus, regardless of what is happening around us.

We are to consider Jesus 24-7. Consider His ways. Consider what He would do in a particular situation. Consider how He would act. Consider what He would say. Consider what He would respond to a person. Stop, think and then speak or act, according to what He would speak or act.

Considering Jesus will keep us from making mistakes. It will keep us from becoming embroiled in difficult situations. It will keep us in the center of God’s will. When we consider someone or something other than Jesus, that is when we get into trouble, because it generally means we are depending on our own efforts, relying on our own abilities and thinking thoughts contrary to the Word.

Jesus should be the center of every decision we make. He knows the end from the beginning and can help us to avoid tragic errors in our lives. And you know, the most wonderful thing about Him is that even when we make those tragic mistakes, He picks us up, forgives us and sets us right back on the path He has chosen for us. What we have to do is to forgive ourselves, put the past behind us and go on considering Jesus.
