Biblically Funding the Work of God

is a Bible Study I'm going through [again] on biblical fundraising that Navigators provided.  It's been extremely helpful and I'm very grateful to feel shepharded by the Navs through this.

One thing I've been thinking about lately is what it takes to keep our eyes fixed upon the Lord.  Such verses as "Fix your eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith," the disciple who took his eyes of Jesus during the storm and started sinking, and "Those who look to the Lord are radient, their faces are never covered with shame" have been in my mind.

Qualities of one who fixes their eyes upon the Lord:

- Extol the Lord at all times

- His praise is always on my lips

- His soul boasts in the Lord

- Gethers others to glorify the Lord with him

- Desires to exalt His name forever

The constant battle seems to be between believing the Lord is good, and focusing on Him while the waves of anxiety, despair, life in general, difficulties, and uncertainties constantly distract my focus.
