Narrowing My Focus

September 9, 2014/CathyChung/

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

1 Corinthians 7:35 (NLT) – I want you to do whatever will
help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.

WARNING:
God has His hand all over my life right now and I’m on fire! As part of that, He sent me this verse
yesterday. I’d like to say it came
before I resigned from two commitments, but I still read it as an affirming,
congratulatory fist bump.

I do a lot. Some say too much and I’m hearing God say it
too. God has been stirring a restlessness
in me regarding my commitments. In
hindsight, I realize He’s been sending messages and I’m beginning to piece them
together. One such message came via a recommended
book called The Best Yes – Making Wise
Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands (Lysa TerKeurst).
I ordered it last week.

Our time is precious and short. The demands of September have led me to re-prioritize,
to define my calling and begin eliminating distractions.

You do a lot too. Is it too much? Do you feel God urging you to narrow your
focus?

Psalm 119:105

Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

Ephesians 3:17 (NLT)

I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5 (NLT)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
