Proper Focus
(Part 2 of Three)
Wrong focus can derail even the most God-fearing man or woman. In analogy, it could be equated to driving down the highway at 60-70 MPH and only looking out either side window at passing scenery. An exclusive use of this focus will end in disaster. Equally, only regarding spiritual enemies on our sides (circumstances) produces the wrong kind of fear, takes our eyes off our goals, and yields similar devastating results.
It is just as dangerous to constantly focus on the rear view mirror. It’s not where we’ve been that counts. It’s where we’re going that counts! Such actions can be equally deadly in a spiritual sense. When we regretfully focus on past failures or relish in past victories for too long, we run headlong into the next bump in the road. Effectively, we become the bump in the road, a stumbling block to all that follow behind.
Those with proper focus fully understand and affect in their lives the words of Paul to the Philippians in 3: 13-14. “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Yeshua the Messiah.”
