What's your focus?

 

While hunting a couple years back I encountered something I would like to share with you. It was the last day of the 2022-gun season and we, my dad and I were driving in the afternoon trying to decide just where to hunt, when suddenly I said, "stop!" The reason for my sudden excitement was that I had spotted 3 large bucks accompanied by 4 does. Well, we drove around to where we thought they might pop out of the woods, and they did! However unfortunately I did not happen to see the bucks just the very large doe running across behind the bucks. I promptly put the crosshairs on the does shoulder and dropped the doe and then happen to notice the very large 10-to-12-point buck standing on a ridge which unfortunately had several other hunters at the bottom. I'd say I had the wrong focus.

It is the same in many ways with our walk with the Lord! Sometimes we get so focused on the wrong thing, we miss out on what God really wants us to be doing!

So, what's your focus? 

Here's a few, Sports, what you look like, hunting, fishing, The newest brands of shoes or clothes, money. These things are not wrong unless you place them before the Lord. In the world we live in there are so many things that consume us or draw our attention away from God! I would like to give you 4 ways to keep your focus in the RIGHT direction.

1. Don't always buy the best of the best or for that matter buy it at all if it's not entirely necessary or you just don't need it

2. Do church activities such as soul winning, helping your church family, exedra.

3. Never skip church to do anything that you just feel like doing instead.

4. Focus on what Gods telling you instead of focusing on what you think you should be doing.

   The closest you will ever be to God, is the time in your life when you are the most focused on Him!
