Focus!

Psalm 101: 3

I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.

On Friday I took to the roads, and traveled on Wisconsin byways a fair distance.

The scenery was beautiful, and I tried not missing anything God meant just for me to see.

On my way I saw a beautiful bald eagle, and an Amish man in his buggy.

I noticed his horse that was pulling the buggy, was actually wearing blinders.

Horses have peripheral vision, which means they could run off course, unless they are made to remain focused.

Did you know that horse blinders they say, were actually invented by a Preacher?

This Pastor realized, that by covering a portion of the horses eye, it could encourage the horse to take chances it would not normally take, and it would not become distracted.

What chances will you take this week, as it has to do with the things of God?

What area of your spiritual life, needs to be refocused?

Why does it seem harder to take God centered risks, when sin sometimes comes so naturally?

The difference, is that God things come in the supernatural.

Focus on the things of God, and you will see increased power.

Focus on the things of the world, and you might just get distracted.

Maybe if we started this new day, purposed not to set any vile things before our eyes, our week might just be better all the way around…
