Focus

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
       where does my help come from?  -Psalm 121:1
 

Did you know that for the under $18000 category, the Ford Focus is a cool car to own?  So, if you are driving one, congratulations.  You are cool. 

I know you are wondering what this has to do with anything.  It’s a random day, so there’s a random fact I learned this week.  Actually, there is a grasping connection-FOCUS.  I’ve been thinking a lot about focus this week.  Maybe because I’m having a hard time doing so.  It’s a big week with moving and family coming in town this weekend.  It’s also hot…but then you know that.

So…back to focus.  I’ve been thinking about it since I read the following from Hybels book on prayer:  “Faith comes by looking at God, not at the mountain.”

Are you facing a mountain?  If it seems insurmountable, maybe your focus is in the wrong place.  It’s easy to do.  I work hard to focus on getting things done in my personal life and my work/ministry life.  I love to check things off my list.  Problem is, I often get frustrated because while I may be doing and accomplishing good things, my focus is not on God.  The result?  I tend to look at the mountain that seems never ending.

Where’s your Focus?  And I don’t mean the cool car.
