“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden
with Christ in God.”
(Colossians 3:2-3).
We are in a time and season when it is so easy to get distracted from the needful and take our gaze
off Christ because so many things are calling for our attention. And some of these things in themselves
are genuine and we feel they really matter. But only one thing truly matters, which is looking and
never taking our gaze off the One who truly matters- Christ our Lord. For everything outside Him is a
waste of time.
Today, the devil makes a lot of noise around the life of men, making them elevate other things above the Lord. Many are weighed down because they are trying to carry the load they are not designed to carry.
“ It is not given unto men to direct their steps.”
Jeremiah10:23.
There is One from whom we were drawn. We must shift our gaze from the things that depletes and anything that seeks to drain us of our hope in Christ as we set our gaze on Him- Christ our Lord, knowing fully well that He knows our needs more than we do. Can you do a heart check today, of where your focus lies, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also- (Matthew 6:21).
Staying focused in this world of busyness will take a disciplined lifestyle.
PRAYER.
Dear Lord, keep my gaze on that which is of utmost importance. May I never be focused on me Lord; my heart is set on you. Continually have the first place in my life. Amidst the distractions and temptations I am constantly faced with, Keep me focused on You , O Lord!
