What's your focus?
Most people focus their energies on beingness comfortable, rich, happy, famous, or loved.
Paul was rarely comfortable, oft hated, never rich, non happy nor famous inwards the worldly sense.
He had a dissimilar focus.
"No, beloved brothers in addition to sisters, I am nonetheless non all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this ane thing: Forgetting the yesteryear in addition to looking frontwards to what lies ahead, I strain to accomplish the halt of the race in addition to have the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us upwards to heaven." Philippians 3:13-14
Dear Christians, at that spot are many people speaking inwards the Name of Christ, in addition to to a greater extent than or less of their messages encourage us to focus our energies on the world's selfish goals.
But nosotros are non on a Lord's Day walk. We're inwards a race that requires intense straining toward the goal.
We demand to focus all of our energies on that race, forgetting yesteryear failures in addition to straining to run according to our calling inwards Christ.
