Divine Focus

Divine Focus
It’s easy to become chained to our calendars and daily to-do lists, slowly losing focus on what truly matters. We can easily forget Jesus' words to Martha, becoming “anxious and troubled about many things.” Jesus emphasized that there is only one necessary thing! He made this "necessary thing" clear when He said earlier in Luke's Gospel, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27).
Friends, it's wise to periodically assess what is most important in our lives and whether our actions reflect those priorities. We must occasionally ask ourselves: “Have I allowed one more email to take precedence over spending time with my family? Have I prioritized a bigger paycheck at the expense of my physical and mental well-being? Have I taken the time to sit at Jesus' feet lately? Have I spent time in God’s Holy Word lately?” As the pace of life continues to quicken year after year, remember to make time for God's Word, focus on Him, and He will reveal what's necessary.
Onward and Upward +
