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.
