Focus

Hey all,

Focus is hard sometimes isn't it?  Let's face it, the world is full of distractions. We are pulled in many directions every day.  The tasks of life sometimes just seem to keep us away from the thing that we really want to focus on doesn't it? 

If you have been following this blog lately then you know that I have been writing a lot lately about our "calling" and what that looks like.  Our calling takes focus.  If we don't do it, no one will.  We have to focus. 

So think about this.  Jesus says in Matthew 7:13-14.

"Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Think about that.  Only a few find it.  Why?  Because the distractions of life life constantly try and take us through the broad gate.  We are herded along like sheep into our daily and worldly distractions.................right through the big and wide broad gate.  And when we go through the broad gate, the distractions of the world keep us from focusing on our hearts true desires.  And it leads to destruction. The destruction of our calling.

Doing what we are "called" to do is hard.  It takes focus and effort.  It is no wonder few find it. 

But guess what?  We all have what it takes.  While the gate is narrow, if we "narrow" our focus, then we can find it.  We will find it.  It is worth the effort.  We can go down that the elusive narrow road.  The road that leads to life.  Don't be distracted.........narrow your focus and press on. 

And be one of the few.

Strength and Honor,

-S
