FOCUS????!?!?


FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!....As you read this devotion, I hope you can focus and take whatever you are doing and stop and concentrate. What do you see??

FOCUs.....On Wednesday, 10/1, I was at my with my mom and watching her practice for worship. As I was listening, I saw something very interesting that got my attention to write this devotion.

When the worship team was practicing, three children was running around (the children are the worship team member's child). I was really not focusing of what they were singing but actually looking at them! As I continue to see them having fun, I looked at the worship team and saw that they were actually trying to focus on singing the songs they are practicing rather than asking the children to be quiet.

Deut. 6:5
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Psalms 5:8
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies make straight your way before me.

As I continue to listen and watch them, I thought of how it relates to us. We, as Christian, should focus on God and nothing else. Our main point of this world is for God and God only. Riches, achievements, even earthly loves is nothing more important than God alone. Are you focusing on God? Or are you just struggling with you temptation or anything that you are in trouble with and just wait until you really need God? God can help you anytime. It would be a rather a wise choice to ask Him for help instantly because He can heal you faster than you struggling by yourself (but it does not mean you still won't struggle with it). God is your strength. You must trust in Him and just ask for His help anytime. He will always be there.
Questions to ask Yourself:
1)Are you giving everything that is bothering to you with God? Why and why not?
2)Are you focusing on God or are you still in the earthly things?

2 Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
