Where's Your Focus?

Focus-any center of activity or attention; to fix or settle on one thing; to concentrate.

"So my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe.
Hebrews 3:1 (The Message)

"Take a good hard look." In other words, FOCUS. In optics, FOCUS is the point toward which light rays converge. In geometry, it's a special point used in describing conic sections. When we concentrate our attention, we are FOCUSING. When we do it with others in an organized way, we're in a FOCUS group. The Navy has a missile named FOCUS, and Ford has a car by the same name. In sports, lack of FOCUS is often the reason given for defeat; and players in a slump try to regain their FOCUS. When we take a blurred picture, it's because we didn't FOCUS the camera on the right object.

In life, we find that Christ becomes blurred in our vision when we FOCUS on our problems. But when we put Him in the center of the picture, our trials are less of a FOCAL point and more of a background blur. The apostle Paul said, "We do not FOCUS on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
2 Corinthians 4:18

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, keep your FOCUS on Jesus. Then, the trials and tribulations become a blur and our FOCUS is on the true, positive, and lovely things that He came to give us.

FOCUS on what you're FOCUSING on.

NOTHING that happens, happens for NOTHING

Amen to this post. Great comment from Dianelynn too. Focus on Jesus is the only way for me. Love and blessings to you.

Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

Amen Race Fan I know that this past week I have had the Lord speaking to me about my Focus and where it has been versus where it needs to get back to. The world threatens daily to overwhelm us but when all things are seen through the vision God will give us , it always will fall back in line with His perspective becoming ours. Good Post, God Bless you..
