Focus on God March 25, 2026

God wants to make us,

a blessing to many.

There won’t be any time,

to get ready,

we must be ready.

We shouldn’t

blame our situation,

get discouraged,

or lose hope.

Hold on,

wait on God,

everything

has a season and a reason.

God often

takes us through places,

we don’t understand,

so He can bring us

to the place He wants us to be.

Never go back,

to what God

has already rescued us from.

Focus on Jesus,

not on the wind,

the waves,

or the storm.

In “Walk on Water” S5 / E48 of I Took a Right Turn: We begin with our comments on the weather in the  Promised Land and our continued payers for peace.  We open our musical segment with a song that speaks of the end of our journey with Christ I’ll Fly Away.  Then, a song that speaks of how Christ is waiting for us We Shall See the King, next is a song that talks about how God is intimately there for each of us all the time My Life is in You.  Finishing up the musical portion of the podcast with one of our homegrown songs: Come on People.

Next, we begin our new segment of the Podcast, “A Miracle Moment.”  In the segment this week, Robert shares a miracle that astounded us at the time and still shows us how God cares about everything in our lives and even saves us from ourselves.  We want to invite everyone to send us your miracle stories.  Everyone who does will receive one of Robert’s books.  We’re very excited about this new segment because we feel God has guided us into this expansion of the Podcast Ministry.  Just go to  itookarightturn.com and use the message system to submit. 

Then Robert reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Focus on God.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book. 

Looking into God’s holy Word, we explore a story familiar even to people who don’t really know the Bible in Matthew 14:24-35.

The text of the readings from Robert’s book is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

We don’t change so that we may know God, we change because we know God.

Those with poor hearing

or lax listening skills

often answer questions,

they aren’t asked,

or comment on things

not said,

so too

are those,

who won’t listen to God,

are always a step

or two out of place.

In “Now What?” S5 / E47 of I Took a Right Turn: We open up with our usual comments on the weather in the  Promised Land.  Then we talk about how we learn through trials and that’s how we grow and mature.  Our musical portion of the podcast begins with Jesus on the Inside Working on the Outside which is an old song and a constant realization here.  Next a song that tells the truth and nothing but the truth, I’ve Been Redeemed.  Then another old song that speaks of what is a good thing to remember about how God works in our life, Not by Might.  Finally, we share one of our newer homegrown songs: Stand Therefore

Looking into God’s holy Word, we explore at Romans 7:14-25 a passage that teaches us that we all need the power of God in our lives if we are ever going to really live for Him. 

After this, we move on to our newest segment of the Podcast, “A Miracle Moment.”  In the segment this week, we share a miracle that we still don’t know how or why it came about.  Send us your miracle story and we’ll share it on the podcast to encourage others.  Just go to our webpage itookarightturn.com, click on the contact button and let us know how God moved in your life.  Include your contact information and we’ll send you an autographed copy of one of Robert’s books, free of charge.

Then Robert reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Listen Up.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book. 

The text of the readings form Robert’s book is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

In the seasons of silence God is preparing us to hear what He has to say next.
