Focus

Over the past few weeks I think I have been losing focus. I think that lately I have been putting my focus on snowboarding instead on the one who gave me snow, cold weather, snowboarding, and the ability to snowboard.

I knew something was wrong because I felt like my relationship with God wasn't as strong as it used to be. However, I didn't know what the root of the problem was. I did notice though that when I was talking to God I would lose focus much more often than normal. Then, once I finally came to grips of what the problem was I knew I had to change. However, without a proper definition you can't know how to or to what extent to change.

Focus definition: A center of interest or activity.

Luke 4:8 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'"

If we take the definition of focus and put what the Bible says together we get; God should be at the center of interest or activity. My focus was on snowboarding and not on God as it should have been.

Physically speaking when our eyes are unable to focus on certain things because out eyes are messed up we normally get corrective glasses or contacts. That's what I need. I need corrective glasses or contacts so that I can Focus on God and no other thing.

To get that clear image of God we need to completely give ourselves up to Him. Only until we surrender completely can we have a deep relationship with Him.

We cannot allow our desire or passion to do something take the front stage as the focus of our everyday lives. When we focus on God our lives have a real purpose and meaning. I have a little phrase pertaining to this subject I made up a few weeks ago.

When you look up, things will look up.

Basically what that means is when you look towards (focus on) God your life will be the best life you will ever have. Take the route of a profound Focus on God.
