Focus

Trying to focus on God

         When sequestered by forces beyond your control, focus wavers. Instead of focus  distraction, seek to take your mind off the situation going on around you. If you are single any distraction can be exciting for the moment but eventually that is not enough.  When you have finished all the shows you wanted to watch, when you have bounced that ball against the wall till your arm hurts, when you have tormented the cat with the dangly toy until the cat seeks a quiet dark corner under the bed, you get the picture, WHAT do you do? I personally know this is true because I Just finished two series I personally wanted to see, bounced the ball, tormented the cat, and now where do I go?  

Well, in these still small moments, if anger doesn’t win and send you or I reeling, a new focus is needed.  Perhaps, you and I both need to consider how we got to this point?  Virus, ok, but perhaps God is tapping on our shoulders.  Maybe we need a new focus, one we can only find when the distractions grow thin.

What do I believe? What do you believe?

         What kind of God do you believe in, what can he do, how does it affect your life? These are just a few questions easily answered by looking in the Bible. Maybe it is time to dig that Bible you received from Great Aunt Hetty along with socks for Christmas when you were twelve out from under the bed—you may even catch a glimpse of the cat—or you can download it for free onto your phone.   God has promised so many things, that you just need to look. These promises have simple conditions to see them fulfilled, but unlike people God always does what he says.  God always keeps his promises..

May I suggest you begin your reading in the New Testament, the book of John, which is the fourth book. 

For instance,  as you read consider where you are in your relationship with Jesus.  Have you taken a moment to consider the Jesus who died for you, so YOU could begin to live the abundant and eternal life, that God desires for you.

         John 3:16 “for God so loved all of that he sent his son Jesus to fulfill the law and to take the punishment for our sin.

He was scourged, beaten, and crucified on the cross, then Jesus rose from the grave after three days dead”.

That may be hard to comprehend, but give it some focus, at least as much as you and I were giving that series we were watching.  It may be difficult at first, but I am here as are others to answer questions.

How hard is it to believe this?  That depends.  For those who have made this commitment it may not be that complicated., For those who deny Gods existence, or who deliberately defy Gods laws the journey may be mind boggling. But if you read as if God were speaking to you, if you and I desire love, real love there is healing power.  

May I suggest two ways to test the truth of John 3:16

• Read or watch THE CASE FOR CHRIST by Lee Strobel, who as an atheist set out to disprove the risen lord Jesus, only to find the risen Lord Jesus for himself because he found the evidence for faith in Jesus overwhelming! How can we not believe, in Jesus?
• Comment below and perhaps we can begin a dialog about Jesus and what focusing on Him can do for your life and what your life can mean to others.

Give it shot.  At least till the cat comes out.

Do not hesitate to know Jesus for he wants to know you!
