Precious Moments That Count For EternitySample

Focus on God

We must focus our eyes, attention, desires, wants, needs and thoughts on Jesus. We must be rooted and grounded in Him. In today’s world, we can easily get caught up in the daily routines and problems and lose sight of our true purpose in life. Scriptures emphasize the need for Jesus to be the center of everything. We need to place Him first in everything we do. When we focus on God, in our walk through life, we will start running towards all the promises that God has in store for us. We will start running towards victory in every aspect of our life, and who doesn’t want a life of victory?
The Bible tells us about the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:39-40). Martha was so engrossed and busy working that she missed out on spending time with Jesus. She lost her focus. Mary, on the other hand, sat down at the feet of Jesus and decided to keep her focus on God. Similarly, our attention must be fixed on God. All we need to do is eliminate all the other voices, sit down at the feet of Jesus, meditate on His Word and spend time with Him in worship.
I encourage you today to make Jesus your everyday priority and the center of your life. Make it your goal to have a deep and intimate relationship with God. Let Him into every area of your life. In everything you do, seek God’s kingdom first, and He will give you everything you need.

Prayer
Father God, no matter what the situation or struggle I may find myself in, help me to focus and keep my eyes on Jesus. Amen.
