Hebrews 12:2 –
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith
How can we stay focused on God? There are many reasons to want to do so and all are beneficial to us, spiritually, physically mentally.
When we engage daily in prayer, meditation and reading verses in the Bible, we are activating a closer bond with the LORD in many ways. First of all, we are showing Him reverence by being in His Word, and when we obey His commandments, we are doing according to His Word.
Staying focused on God and His Word is relevant to all we endeavor to do or hope to do. Being in the Word brings wisdom and insight and it equips us with the ability to ascertain things we normally would not be able to do without His guidance.
So, how do we stay focused on Him?
- By being in the Word.
- By being faithful to His commandments.
- By spending time with Him alone in prayer.
- By showing His love to others.
- By being an example of His light and truth.
- By doing all things that are right and aligning with His Word.
- Seeking His face in all we do and attempt to do.
- Loving Him totally with all our hearts, minds, body, and soul.
- Putting Him first before anything or anyone else.
- And by asking for His will to be done in your life.
As we focus on His love, His Word, His will we are inherently drawing closer to Him. When we ask for His will to be done in our life, we are placing our trust in Him, knowing He wants what is best for all of us.
Spending time with the LORD is probably the most valuable and important thing you can possibly do in this lifetime. Loving Him is probably the most pleasant thing you can do in this lifetime. And obeying Him is the most rewarding thing you can do in this lifetime, and the life to come in Eternity.
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
“Father, may I stay focused on You and Your commandments, love and Word today and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
