Devotional Series: “Stay Focused”
Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. – Proverbs 4:25
You know it is so easy in this life to lose sight of what is most important. We are so involved in so many different things, that we have a tendency to lose sight of what really matters. We are pulled in so many different directions that we have a very hard time staying focused. I would have to say that staying focused is one of the biggest challenges in life, because there is always something, or someone, that is trying to pull your focus their way.
The effectiveness of our lives is directly associated with the focus of our hearts. The heart of Jesus had a focus “…to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.” At the end, Jesus would cry from the cross, “It is finished.” The heart of Paul was focused running a race of honor and avoiding disqualification. At the end, Paul would say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course…”
Where we place our focus is generally the direction we find ourselves going. In the next few weeks, we are going to learn how to “Stay Focused”, so that we can be faithful, without defect in the things that matter to us and more importantly to God. Amen.
