Keep focused

"Keep Focused" By Diane Webb

Psalms 46: 3—"Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah."

When things get their worst, pause and reflect. Do not focus on the turmoil, strife, or stress. Meditate on the Lord. Don't get caught up in the details of the storm. Look for the Lord and listen for his voice. He will comfort you, guide you, and give you peace. You will have peace in the midst of the storm. Nothing will harm you and nothing will disturb you when you meditate on the Lord. Think on him and only him. When it gets chaotic—think on him. When it gets confusing—think on him. He is the only thing you need to focus on. All the rest of what is going on does not matter. Sometimes things going on are distractions to keep you from thinking on the Lord. Other times what's going on is a test to see if you will lose your focus. Never lose your focus on what is important. The only thing that matters is your relationship with God. Go easy throughout your day. Do not get upset or frustrated. Pause and reflect on the Lord every time things start to get stressful. In that moment of reflection, God will tell you what to do, if anything.

Dear Heavenly Father, help me remember these words today so I will not lose my focus. No matter what happens, help me keep my focus on you and only you. I pray, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
