Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this?
"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
“… a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and sounding from deep in the cloud a voice: "This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him."
Be good to your servant, God; be as good as your Word. Train me in good common sense; I'm thoroughly committed to living your way… I'm in step with your Word. … I focus my attention on what you are saying; …while I dance to the tune of your revelation.
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He's the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.
Luke 9:41 Matthew 6:6 Matthew 17:5 Psalm 119:65 Ephesians 1:3 Philippians 3:13
To the wise, God’s Word is sufficient.
