Laser Vision
One of Superman's powers is laser vision. While I think that is pretty cool, I really think that we all need laser vision, but in a different sense. We need a laser focus in our vision.
“We were planned by God on purpose and for a purpose.” Jeff Little
When we find our purpose, we have to figure out what do we do with that information. How do we walk out what we were called to be in life? That is a tall order and the quest that leaves many people wondering what they are going to be when they grow up even after they have already grown up.
I don't mean to make this sound simplistic. This is a serious question that every person on the planet has to come to grips with and figure out. Laser focus is a key to finding your purpose and walking it out. Lack of focus can be the reason jobs are lost, marriages go on the rocks, projects go awry, and even wars are started. Focus is one of the keys to success in our lives, but we have to focus on the right things. If we focus on the negatives of life, how can we expect anything positive?
Focus on what is true, pure, and just. When God gives you a vision for your life, walk it out in faith and without fear. Focus not just on the goal, but also on the journey. There is joy in the journey if you learn to count your blessings and have an attitude of gratitude. You can expect roadblocks and detours along the way. That is just the way life goes, but those delays can be blessings in disguise. Allow God to lead, sustain, protect, and encourage you as you find your way one step at a time. Trust His timing and His direction. In this year of confusion, we could all use more focus on God's will for our lives. Don't let the negativity of this world blur your vision.
Shalom!
