Staying Focused

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might . . .” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).’ CHAMBERS
 
The success that I experience in life … I am not talking about financial success … is directly dependent upon  the quality of my relationship with God.  Everything starts and ends with Him.  Joshua 1:8-9 says that I need to stay focused on God all the time … meditating on the Word of God and that the peace of God will be with me … In Joshua that peace is described as prosperity and success.  In Philippians 4, we are told that we are to pray … and the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
 
“O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free! Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  Look full in His wonderful face.  And the things if earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
 
Ever wonder what the writer of hymns like this one was experiencing when they wrote them?  The same struggles that we face I’ll bet.  And they shared the answer they found in song.  Stay Focused!
