Stay Focused

I try to read messages from this guy. Now that I will have more free time soon, I’d be able to read some more. ☺

Something to ponder. Here you go…

“Do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.” (Deuteronomy 5:32)

STAY FOCUSED

The way to kill a man with a great dream is to give him another one! The devil’s strategy is to get you spread out so thin htat you become mediocre in everything and excellent in nothing. Paul’s strategy for life can be summed up in one line, “I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing” (Philippians 3:13). Did you know that a dove has no peripheral vision? It cannot see right or left. --- only straight ahead. What a picture!

The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will focus you on your purpose and aim you toward your destiny. Most things in life fail for one reason --- broken focus! Don’t let it happen to you. Don’t get distracted by lesser things no matter how loud and how long they call to you. Isaiah said, “Therefore have I set my face like a flint and I know I shall not be put to shame” (Isaiah 50:7)

One of Satan’s favorite tricks is to get you say “yes” to too many things. Because something good does not mean it is right for you. There comes a time when your “plate is full”, and you’ve got to learn to say “no” to even the best of ideas.

Child of God, start learning to say no to lesser things so that you can say yes to the things that matter most --- the things that God has called you to do.
