Day 21- Keep your focus on Christ
Throughout life we tend to get lost on winding roads that veer us away from God quite often. A perfect example in words would be a Simon & Garfunkel song called the sound of silence…”Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again…” How many of you have had that conversation? I have many times and it is never worth revisiting your previous train wrecks just because you feel like you are some how missing out on something fun. I survived though. I have some scratches and wounds that are still healing, but nonetheless they are on their way to being healed forever with the help of the Lord. I do like the lingering battle wounds though. Usually scars are a painful lesson from the past and will always remind you of something you never want to go through again. I am not proud of them, but don't mind keeping them around to awaken the stale memories of my past and to put an emphasis on my heart of why I chose to hand things over to God. Anything can be used as a reminder to stay focused on Christ. Even a simple long look in the mirror will do.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. –Colossians 3:2
Lord, Help us to keep our focus on You and not on anything else. Help us to not get wrapped up in worldly things that have no true positive impact on our lives. Show us what we can use as little reminders to keep our hearts and minds set on You and let us use them daily if necessary.
