“Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.” Colossians 3:2 (NLT)
What are you looking at? You seemed to be really focused on something … we have all been there and been caught staring or day dreaming or the like as we were engulfed in something. It moves our attention of our present situation and on to something else.
That is the meat of the verse above. It says to focus your life on God. We are told to pray always, to look to Christ, to move toward Him and to allow Him to fill us to overflowing. That is real focus. What does it take to focus your attention in a certain direction? What does it take to get your mind off of something that is eating you up or hurting you? It takes change, and God wants to change our focus.
Successful people are driven people. They find that their focus has to be clear. They find that their perception is not always reality which they much change their focus. Far too many people, me included, end up busy with things are real right now but have little or no value for the long haul. What does it take to change that? It takes focus, and God wants to set our focus.
Finally, I am driven in this new ministry being birthed around me to have great focus and to lead others to do that same. Friend, that takes team work and building team. It takes looking to our real coach and real guide who is God. In so doing we have to remember what Jesus has done for us and where He is leading.
I pray that as people as ‘what are you focused on?’ that we can answer with assurance and excitement that it is JESUS!
“For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.” Colossians 3:3-4 (NLT)
Remember what Rick Warren said, “It is not about you.” It is time we focus on God so that the world knows and the church remembers that it is all about Jesus.
