Why is it so difficult to stay focused on God and His purposes? Paul talks about the struggle between the old and new self, and how that battle continues but we have overcome the evil one through God’s power. So, coming back to my question, why don’t I focus better? I have moments of victory, but they seem short lived. Even while traveling on mission trips completely out of my normal every day life I still battle with where my focus is.
Sometimes I think the more I travel, the more I realize how Satan is battling with God’s church. I see division and struggle everywhere I go. It breaks my heart. I gently encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to rest in His sovereignty and strength and to keep fighting. Reminding all of us that the battle has been won, we simply need to remain faithful to God’s calling and give Him glory and praise with our lives, daily… moment by moment.
Maybe that’s my answer. Sometimes I want to live life ahead of schedule. I need to live moment by moment. Praising God for each breath and opportunity that He provides.
Focus on today and what He brings you!
