Meaning of focus: the state or quality of having or producing a clear visual definition.
The word focus is in approximately fifty verses in the Bible.
When I began to focus on this word, a visual image came to mind...As a child, I would watch my mother take such precision, concentration, and care... As she tried to thread a needle to create a beautiful -embroidered piece of delicate art...
And then my thoughts drifted to this scripture: Mark 10:25: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom.
What does this mean?? Do we focus on money, cars, and things of this world? Are these the riches He speaks of?
These items we treasure will be left behind. I can’t help but see this very small pathway to Heaven, and if we try to bring our collection of treasures, we will not fit. And as you scramble to drop the things and lighten your load... You will realize there is a better way... There is freedom!! There is love like nothing you have ever known...It is just waiting for you... “only you,” not your treasures, title, or “things,” just you and your beautiful, loving heart. It is so simplistic.
So pure... It's Him... It’s Him! He is our treasure.
We should focus on Him because He is the greatest teacher of what is truly important in this thing we call life.
As we focus on Him, with such precision, concentration, and care... The eye of the needle will become crystal clear.
The question becomes, are you ready? What are you focused on??? Don’t be distracted; don’t see Him with blurred vision. Be hyper-focused on the one that will make you rich beyond this life!!
It’s Him; it’s always been Him!!
You call me Teacher and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. John 13:13
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life 1 Timothy 6:17
