GET AND STAY FOCUSED

We live in a fast paced world. Everything seems to be happening at the same time, opportunities, discoveries are breaking forth here and there. We cannot deny that we all are being carried in some way by the trend of things.

Nevertheless, we must understand that being carried away by all that is available will prevent us from obtaining that which is needful. I just returned home from the convention, my father was watching a documentary of the life of the cheetah. I have a strong likeness for the cheetah, especially because of its speed. If I could have my may I'd have it as a pet.

One thing about this animal is that when it sights a prey amongst a group of animals, it could be a deer, antelope, it stands up and begins to pursue that particular one, it doesn't loose sight of it until it is apprehended. Surprisingly, when it was in pursuit, there were other animals that were close that it passed by, it never stopped to kill those ones. The cheetah was focused till it apprehended the one which it had first sighted.

When we keep our focus on God's assignment for our lives we will have many distractions but if we stay focused we will reach the mark of the call. In the pursuit of purpose do not settle for what is available around you, pursue what you have conceived in your spirit.

As you go into this week keep this picture in mind. Stay Focused!
Above all, keep your Eyes glued to Jesus Christ. The Bible says: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

Central Truth: Stay focused and don't Settle for what is available.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 12:2

Prayer:
LORD, help me to keep my focus on that which is needful, let me not settle for what is available in Jesus Name. Amen.

Today's Bible Reading is from Proverbs 10.
