Surrender To God - James 4:7
The Anna Szabo Show
Biblical faith requires strength from us. Don’t be strong in your own power, be strong in Christ. To be strong during hard times, you must surrender your own power, admit that you are weak, and ask God for help because in your weakness His strength is displayed and perfected.

PART 1. BIBLICAL DEVOTIONAL FOR CHRISTIAN WOMEN
Have you ever felt distracted from your purpose, knowing exactly what you need to do, walking the narrow path, following God, and staying focused? I have.
In fact, I’ll share my personal stories with you. Two stories.
The first story happened twice. I was 22 lb overweight and felt that I was on the wrong health path. God called me to pursue holistic weight loss to honor Him with my body. And I knew exactly what to do, but doing it was difficult because the numbers on my scale showed no result.
For a long time, my weight wouldn’t come off but despite my distractions with numbers, I kept following God’s calling and guidance on a very narrow path: 10000 steps a day, 100 squats a day, regular water fasting, and eating a plant-based diet. “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” Proverbs 4:25 helped me push through and stay focused on one step at a time, one step only, step by step. I fixed my gaze directly before me. At the end of 60 days, all my weight melted away, and I was the healthiest I had been. You might wonder: why would you need to go through this twice? The reason why is that I was rear-ended in a car accident and had to recover. After my recovery, I went on to lose 22 lb again by doing exactly what Proverbs 4:25 teaches us to do.
Here’s my second personal story.
Today is 2/7/2021. On January 1st this year, I started publishing a video a day on my main YouTube channel, which I’ll link below for you. I have been working so hard, but my analytics show that right now my videos get only between 14 and 200 views. It looks like I’m getting nowhere. The analytics make it appear as if I am not going far. But God gave me a vision for my ministry Online Discipleship for Women. He asked me to take my message to YouTube. And He advised me to do this: “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” Proverbs 4:25.
I am publishing a video every single day on my main YouTube channel for Christian women, following God’s sacred word.
In addition to that, today, I started a new YouTube channel called The Anna Szabo Show where I now publish my weekly podcast. I have only 1314 subscribers on my main channel and zero subscribers on my podcast channel as of today.
But I won’t let myself get distracted!
“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” Proverbs 4:25
That’s what I’m doing.
Because God called me to a very specific mission. He created me for this purpose. And I won’t get destructed. I am staying focused, fixing my gaze directly before me, taking productive action every single day. And I want to share with you my poem about purpose, which I hope will help you focus and take action without letting anyone or anything distract you.
This is poem number 127 at AnnaSzabo.com/poems
Purpose is what you know you are supposed to do.
It’s what you’re confident you were created for.
It’s why you think God to Himself you drew.
It helps transform your life into a blessing from a chore.
Pursuing purpose is fulfilling and exciting.
Your purpose fuels your daily life with joy.
A purpose-driven future is inviting
Because it can your heart and mind deploy.
Pursuing purpose is a very special blessing.
To know your purpose is to live a life of meaning.
Your purpose knowing, you yourself can be expressing
In spite of others’ hateful interfering.

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” Proverbs 4:25

Father God, you are good, kind, wise, and loving. I pray for the woman listening to this Biblical devotional right now to clearly hear your voice, to realize her divine purpose, to take productive action, letting her eyes look straight ahead, fixing her gaze directly before her, as Proverbs 4:25 instructs her to do. God, let this message wake her up to her spiritual blessings so that she realizes how special she is that you called her to do very special things. I pray for your supernatural peace, protection, provision, and promotion in her life as she’s following you through the narrow path, focused on you wholeheartedly. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
