Text: Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
And if it seem evil
unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether
the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or
the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord.
The truth is, many people have chosen to
serve different gods, but we as His children have chosen to serve Him. Although
we have decided to serve Him, we still need to focus and keep stirring on Him,
and this is the area where many of us fall short off. We may think that is not
true, “my focus is on God”, but the question is, what is the first thing you
look to in either a good or bad situation? Definitely, if it is for good, some
people might say, “God, thank you”, while some might be too eager to tell their
friends and family first, but when it is for bad, they all run to God first; we
need to change this attitude. Think about it; your focus should be on God
first, whether in a good or bad time. We need to develop the habit of keeping
our eyes on God, and in so doing, His nature unconsciously rubs on us. Keeping
our focus on Him also makes our thoughts fixed on Him, and we end up not struggling
to get help from Him. Psalms 121:1-2- I will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.2 My help
cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and
earth.
We need to learn to focus on God and not on the problem or adversities
around us, and this tends to the hard part as His children, but God wants us to
rely on Him. We should not be distracted by the storms and happenings of this
world, but instead, we need to put our minds on the positive things, which we
need His grace to see them. No matter your
efforts, you cannot attract the worth we enjoy being around God and focusing on
Him. Colossians 3:2- Set your affection on things above, not on things
on the earth. Amazingly, as we keep our eyes on Him, He
eventually enhances our value, and we end up dancing around Him, which makes us
a celebrity among men with attraction. I urge you to check your heart always so
as to define your direction of focus. God will help us, in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, please help our eyes to always look directly on you to
avoid being rubbed of God’s divine nature in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, please help us to set our minds on the things of the
Spirit and not the flesh, in Jesus name.
ACTION
QUOTE: You
cannot fix your eyes on a man and assume you are focusing on God, so be
careful.
