Focus on What Matters Most!
Pesan Bulan Ini
Shalom and greetings to our beloved CBN Partners
I express my deepest gratitude to each and every CBN Partner wherever you may be. You are heroes for the generations who have faithfully dedicated your whole heart to be with us working on God's behalf until now.
It's hard to believe we've already entered the month of October. And up to this day, I continue to remind myself of the strong message from God that began early in 2023. I quote from Joshua 1:9, 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.' You and I are reminded to constantly strengthen and fortify our hearts. We know the world will keep trying to divert our time and attention away from what truly matters to things that are unimportant. As a result, we often get caught up in urgent matters from various directions, which may not necessarily be important.
We need to be aware of this trap and return to what is most important. God's command to Joshua to 'be strong and courageous' might be one of the most important. The way to do this is to sit and read the Word of God! We are not just asking, 'Lord, strengthen and fortify my heart,' but we need to speak and meditate on His Word.
When we are strong and firm, we will be ready to face this era. There have been countless exponential leaps in the past year, one of them being the unstoppable rise of AI. So, imagine, in the next three years, the entire world will be shaken. The resources we need to fight in this AI era are already available. So, let the Word of God resonate in your heart and make it your spiritual strength.
God has chosen us to bear witness to something unprecedented in human history. Let's absorb and focus on what's most important. Don't let us be distracted by many pleasures that only waste our time.
May the God Jesus bless you.
