Focus

Why is it that when there is one major troubling thing in our life, it becomes the only thing that we can focus on. It's as if all else blurs, and the only thing we see is the difficulty. And because it is a challenge, it ends up draining us emotionally and physically. As I ponder this, I am reminded of lyrics to some songs which would be good to apply. The words to "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" come to mind:

O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s a light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free!

Refrain

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

It is good to allow God to be our focus, so that all else would grow dim in light of HIM. May He be my Vision and Focus. Amen!
