Oh, my! What a timely lesson for our world today! Current events, weather, finances, jobs, and so many other things are shaking the literal world, as we know it, and our “personal world”. So true, Susan, the “world” has been shaking its people for years and years and will continue. So, we can choose to look at our circumstances and get stressed out or, like you said, “look” to Jesus. Loved how you shared the Greek word study on “look”. Before we can FIX our eyes on Jesus, we have to turn our eyes AWAY from other things. Another meaning I found for “look” to add to yours, that I thought was interesting, is “Metaphorically, to behold in the mind, to fix the mind upon.” Also, it is a continous or repeated action. EACH TIME I get shaken, I need to look (fix my mind upon) to the ONE who is Unshakeable! Just saw an example of this on the news tonight. A lady that was “shaken” by the recent tornado was not focusing on what she lost but rather she gave testimony of how The Lord will help her through this! Amazing!
Eleanor, thanks for sharing and I love that expanded definition for look and that it is a continuous action. It’s definitely something that will be a continual practice!
Hey Susan, I don’t think that your eBook is available on Amazon. 🙂 I have LOVED your other content! Thank you so much for putting all of this out there. It is SOLID FOOD!! ????
Hey Kristi-Lynn, first, I apologize for the delay in my reply! I’ve had some health issues…but doing better now. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I’m so grateful the Lord is using this blog to encourage your walk with Christ! Yes, the eBook is being revised. I hope to have it back on Amazon soon. I’ve added several new free resources available for download on my Bibles Studies & Resource page if you’d like to check them out.
