Focused or Distracted?

We deliberately focus our attention on various things for various reasons. However we can become so focused on something, some issue, a person, obsessed even, that it's becoming a distraction instead of healthy focus? So are you focused or are you distracted? You are proving a point, no one is listening, so you say it again, no one listening still, but you will be heard if it kills you!!!! You are distracted and no one but you cares!!!!

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"(‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:21-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

You probably focus on your treasure, your treasure being what is important to you at the moment. If what you trust to be your guiding light is actually not light at all but rather darkness you are distracted by a darkness that you mistakenly think to be light...... (Read it again slowly, it's confusing I know) You can be following something that is leading you nowhere yet you think you are actually going places!! Is your light, darkness? Focused or Distracted? Is it healthy or is it a point you just have to make, to prove you are right?

Step back, take a deep breath, now.... Are you distracted or are you focused on what really matters???

God does the impossible everyday!!!

Do you need a breakthrough, a miracle or God to touch a hopeless situation today? "Be not afraid, only believe."

"While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."
(‭‭Mark‬ ‭5:35-36‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;" (Joel‬ ‭2:1‬ )

Yes He did........

"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."(‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

I'm 100 percent sure I would still be in that pit if Jesus hadn't came to where I was and "brought me" out of the darkness!!!!

"The Offended"

The lesser person is always offended by the greater.
The unsuccessful person is always offended by the successful.
The hypocritical person is always offended by the person of integrity.
The one that is bitter is always offended by the person that is happy.
The unforgiving person is always offended by the forgiving.
The immature person is always offended at the mature one.

What? The "offended" has to justify their actions and words so they are always whining about something because they have a jealous, critical spirit. The person that has inner peace, that speaks the truth and lives for God can sleep at night because they don't have anything to prove. "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."(Psalm 119:165) The Book that we base our beliefs on is called the Bible, the Inspired Word of God. It is the foundation upon which we stand therefore, in Christ, you can always win!!

"The Game"

The Game, it has many names and faces but the game remains the same....

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
(‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬) KEEP IT REAL!!!

"Greater is He"!!!

God is Greater than the struggle you are fighting today or anything you will ever face!!!

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬)
