Have you noticed how easy it is to get distracted? I know with me, it takes very little to lose focus. Sometimes just having someone else talking in another conversation near to where I am can totally be distracting. Or reading an incoming text before I need to send one of my own, can make me forget who and what I needed to send a text for. If we need to keep focus, what is the best thing to do? Sometimes it means putting your focus directly on what you need to concentrate on. I’ve heard it called single vision. When it comes to focusing on God, the Bible tells us to look at Him, to listen to Him, and pay attention to His Word, so we can experience the joy-filled abundant life Jesus died to give us. When we do that, we can keep our focus right. You can try it as an experiment and see how it really works. Put something on the table, about the size of a domino, and then focus just on it. In a short period of time, everything else around will get blurry, but you will see the object perfectly. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, things around us don’t get blurry, but they don’t have the hold on us that they used to. That is a very good thing. We don’t have to let circumstances or situations keep us from focusing on God and his good plan for our lives. In the midst of any situation, we can keep our heart centered on God, and experience the joy of the Lord. We can praise Him through any storm or situation that comes against us. So keep your focus! Don’t lose sight of Jesus, because He is the real source of joy for every area of your life.
