Good Thursday Morning Blog Family. Yes, today we are still safe and blessed. Praise the Mighty Name of Jesus. Make sure you tell Him thank You today. Because if it were not for God and His Grace and Mercy. You might not would have made it this far. Thank You Father.
I have a question for you today. Where is your focus? In other words, what are you focused on? What has the majority of your attention these days? Now, I could tell you what your answer should be, but that would not be the answer some of you may give. If I were to answer that question and I will, my focus is on God. Now, I am not saying that I don’t think about other things because I do. What I am saying is the one thing in my life that I am focused on, that gets my attention everyday. My focus point is God. He is in the center of my life, everything else surrounds Him, He is my focus point.
In my research on the word focus, I wanted to see what the Bible definition was and this is what I found, “In a biblical context, “focus” means intentionally directing one’s attention, priorities, and actions towards God, His teachings, and His purposes, prioritizing spiritual matters over worldly distractions to live according to His will.” That says it all!
Whatever it is in life that has your focus and your attention, usually has the rest of you too. It has your heart, your mind, your ears and your mouth. Because if you are focused on it, you keep it in front of you at all times, thinking about it and talking about it. A good example of what I am talking about is the media and covid 19. A lot of people were so focused on covid 19 and keeping up with all the news about it. They couldn’t think about or talk about anything else. The virus, the positive cases, the deaths, the rising numbers is all they were focused on. It became part of them and that is not a good thing. What you don’t control will control you, it will eventually consume your every thought. If I am going to be consumed and controlled by something or someone, I would rather it be God Almighty than the world.
Even now with the economy in the shape that it is in, your focus should still be on God. Why, because He is the answer to everything and He has the final say so in all things. God is in control and still on the throne no matter who is in the Presidential office. Psalm 118:8 reads, ” It is better to trust in the Lord than to put your trust in man.”
This is why it is so important to make God your focus point. Keep your mind and eyes on Him. Don’t continue to focus on the problem, focus on the problem solver. Psalm 18:2 reads, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield[a] and the horn[b] of my salvation, my stronghold.” Whatever we are faced with that has taken our focus off of God. Just remember He is all knowing and all seeing. He knows what you will need before you do. When we go before Him with a problem, He already has the answer. So please, tell me why your focus should be on anything or anyone other than God?
Leaving you with this. If your focus is not on God, then you need to adjust your focus. You know when you are getting ready to take a picture and sometimes the focus needs to be adjusted so the picture will turn out right. Well, sometimes we need to adjust our focus so that our lives will turn out right and that focus should be on God, always. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
