Focus

Focus
To direct toward a particular point or purpose.
To converge on or toward a central point of focus; be focused.
To adjust one's vision or an optical device so as to render a clear, distinct image.
To concentrate attention or energy.

What is your focus? if you are like me, most days ou have way to many things in your line of sight to focus on any one. But aren't we called to keep our focus on Christ? Why is it that when what He offers is so immesurably more than what the world offers, we still choose to focus on the world? And then, like Peter, we start to sink...

Well I am hereby giving you the task of holding me accountable for my focus being on Christ and the things that He is focused on. I want my vision to be a clear, distinct image of Him. I want to concentrate my attention and energy on the work that He has laid out before me. I am newly determined to see Him and what He has laid out for me and RUN towards it with all the passion that is within me.

Feel like joining me in this little adventure? It promises to be long and hard. There will be pitfalls and distractions along the way, but how cool will it be to keep my eyes on Him and be able to "walk on water"?

There's a song by Selah that goes along well with the pursuit you're describing. It's 8 words total:
"Draw me, Lord...
and I'll run after You."
Our focus is a process of God drawing us (as Jesus did when He approached the disciples during the storm) but also of our response in running after Him.
