Focus

Love you all, praying for you. 
 
I just love God’s Word.  It is truth and life.  Do you know what is one of the most important things in life - that will determine your success, or failure?  Focus.   Let’s say you’re a lion heading out to find something for dinner.  And you come across a herd.  Zebras everywhere, stripes everywhere, you charge in, they scatter all you’re seeing is stripes, and they all look the same.  If you focus on one zebra, you’ll have dinner tonight.  But if you focus on them all, you’ll get nothing.  Focus is a critical skill in life.  What did God tell you to do in this hour?  Do you know? Have you asked Him?  Are you doing it?  Or are you focused on all the other Zebras.  PiVAT before dinner helps you focus on one.  PiVAT Maybe helps you get your mind off of all the other things, all the other stripes, that you shouldn’t be focusing on right now.  PiVAT Maybe - what you think you gotta do, for God to confirm, delay or delete.  Most aren’t even for you, some may be but not for today, that’s dinner tomorrow.  So what should you focus on?  God said fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.  Keep your eyes on Him, trust in him.  That doesn’t mean sit there with your legs crossed, humming.  How did Jesus focus on His Heavenly Father?  He spent time with him, getting His plans and His Word.  That’s PiVAT and PRISM, and then He focused on His Heavenly Father, not by staying on the mount of olives all day, but in doing the will of his Father in Heaven.  First, Get God’s plan, then focus on doing the will of your Heavenly Father in this hour, and as you do… focus on Him to help you do it with joy!  He will give you strength for the task, joy in the obedience, testimony to overcome with, and hope for the future.  He was faithful today, He’ll be faithful tomorrow, and every day after.  Just focus on the first thing He told you.  Praying that you’ll do PiVAT before dinner, so you can focus on doing His will, just like Jesus did.  Do PiVAT Maybe, to help take your mind off of all the other zebras – that’s not for you today.  Do what He told you, in this hour.  Praying that PRISM will keep your eyes on Jesus (the Word of God).  In your life, focus is the key to fruit.  Get His Plan, Soak in His Word, and obey with joy.  (and overcome with somebody).  Let God lead you in His Good. 
 
Love you all,
