Where's Your Focus?

We Focus on many things and therefore become distracted from the one important thing

If we could see a counter number of how many times a day we say something negative or positive, we might be shocked at how we have strong tendency towards the negative.  Are we speaking words of life and faith into others or are we speaking words of death and curses on those around us?  So what is your focus?  Our focus can determine how fruitful we are as followers of Jesus today.

We pray about many things and many people but wonder why we don't see more answer to our prayers.  We read large sections and many verses of scripture but wonder why God's Word does not seem to deeply effect us?  We have lost our direction because we have lost our focus.  When it comes to focus, how about a change of focus.  Instead of focusing on many thoughts and many things, how about focus on one thought, one image, or one phrase or verse of scripture.

Can we learn to slow down to a higher rhythm of life?  When we do this, we suddenly start seeing and experiencing connections and intersections between heaven and earth that we have never seen or experienced before.  When we lost ourselves to Christ and him crucified, it is then we come to the crossroads of life where our life becomes shaped by the cross of Christ.

So sit down, be still, meditate, listen, contemplate on the oneness of God, the oneness of our humanity, the oneness of all creation as God's peace and grace penetrates the depths of your soul.  Feel the presence of God, the energy of the Holy Spirit breaking forth new light and power for your life.  Smell purity, taste goodness, hear gentleness, and see the Bridegrooms everlasting love for you.
Psalms 113:6 says, "I humble myself to behold the things of heaven and earth."

Today, I tremble in your presence O' God.  I tremble in your presence.  I tremble!
