Beware Being Too Busy to Focus!

One thing our present world seems to rob people of is clear focus. Of course, there are countless reasons for this tragedy, but busyness is certainly a leading thief.

I write these words of warning in the front of my calendar year-after-year: "Beware the barrenness of a too busy life."

So, what's the big deal about being busy and losing clear focus? For starters, losing clear focus alters our vision for the worst. When we lack focus? We lose vision!

It's a scary reality up ahead if we lack focus and have lost clear vision. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) waves like a lantern before us: "Where there is no vision, the people perish!"

Lord, forgive our busyness. Lord, forbid that we would lose focus and have no vision. Lord, be our focus. Lord, be our Vision. Lord, don't let us perish. Let, Your presence be our Light and Life. Amen.

What Kind of Lives Should We Be Living?

I awoke early this morning with this passage in my mind and on my heart:

(8) But you must not forget, dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
(9) The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone to repent.
(10) But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment.
(11) Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living! -- 2 Peter 3:8-9 (NLT)

ALL JOY TO YOUR WORLD!
