MESSAGE:
I was once a mathematics lecturer, so I know how students behave in a classroom. Not all students focus on what is being taught; some focus on the teacher’s clothes, grammar, or pronunciation, while a few others are distracted by other students, and many other things. Interestingly, the same thing happens to believers, who are pilgrims on this earth.
Today, many believers have lost their focus. Some of them solely seek material blessings from God, losing out on the most important things in the process. I ama living testimony of the truth embedded in today’s memory verse. Since I chose to set my focus on God’s Kingdom and His righteousness in 1973 (the year I surrendered my life to Jesus), I have received countless blessings from Him to date. My dear child, keep your focus only on God and His Kingdom, and not on what you can receive from Him. Rather than chasing shadows, pursue God and stay grounded in Him. When God is your true focus, He will take you to higher heights and places you never imagined.
REFLECTION:
Is your focus set on God’s kingdom and His righteousness?
