Slow Down and Focus

by Zeke Flores

We live in a world where short attention spans are the order of the day. Information, circumstances, and opportunities come at us rapidly from every direction that if our heads could swivel completely around, they'd look like a spinning top. We're like the dog who runs after every squirrel he sees, regardless of how many there are or what direction they go.

So, how do we slow down and focus? By remembering that life in Christ has purpose. Christians shouldn't be all over the map; we should be the most focused, purpose-driven people on earth. We have a sure destination and the right way to get there.

Sure, we've all got responsibilities and priorities in life, but don't forget to keep the main thing, the main thing.

"This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord" (I Corinthians 7:35).
