Hebrews 12:1-3 “All these many people who have had faith in God are around us like a cloud. Let us put every thing out of our lives that keeps us from doing we should. Let us keep running in the race that God has planned for us. Let us keep looking to Jesus. Our faith comes from Him and He is the One Who makes it perfect. He did not give up when he had to suffer shame and die on a cross. He knew of the joy that would be His later. Now is sitting at the right side of God.”
James 2:4 “Sailing ships are driven by strong winds. But a small rudder turns large ship whatever way the man at the wheel wants the ship to go.”
Focus. The word “focus” has multiple meanings. For the teachers reading this, it is what the kids are lacking as the days draw closer to summer. Having a strong focus while learning something new is important, in order to complete that task. Focus on goals can be challenging and almost seem impossible. However, the focus, I want to “focus” on is similar to going and getting an eye exam. “Is your vision better with 1 or 2?”
Where is your focus? How are you viewing life? You can focus on 1 - the positive in situations - or - 2 - the negative. What are you letting in? Jealousy, anger, envy, having an “its about me” outlook. Your vision is connected directly to your heart. Our perspective of what is around us drives us on a daily basis. “If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will be come dizzy and confused.” (Jesus Calling by Sarah Young). The choices we make with our focus drive our thinking and then directly influence our actions.
What if you are in a season that just keeps running you ragged? Give it to Him. Dig deeper into the word and into prayer. Find someone that makes you stronger and helps you stay focused. We aren’t put here to be conformed, but to be “transformed”.
