“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” Ephesians 4:15 (ESV)
You become what you focus on.
Diffused light is weak. Focused light can cut steel. God blesses a life that is focused on His mission. His mission involves knowing, growing, and going. God wants you to know Him personally and intimately through an abiding relationship with Jesus. God wants you to grow in Him through prayer, Bible study, and connecting with other believers in a small group. God wants you to go into the world shining His light and sharing His love.
Are you focused?
- “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 (ESV)
- “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you..” Proverbs 4:25 (ESV)
- “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.'” John 4:34 (ESV)
- “Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Heb 12:2 (ESV)
Is your life fragmented? Are you trying to keep too many plates spinning? Maybe God wants you to downsize from thirty spinning plates to three. Focus your life on knowing, growing, and going.
Eternity is at stake!
