Spiritual Focus

Good Morning!! It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week you should examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. This means holding ourselves to the highest priority, year in and year out; not making our first priority to win souls, or to establish churches, or to have revivals,...but seeking only " to be well pleasing to God ".

I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won't lose out after telling the good news to others.—1 Corinthians 9:27 (AAJE)

Any goal we have that diverts us even to the slightest degree from the central goal of being "approved to God " may result in our rejection from further service for Him. As you begin to discern where the goal leads, you will understand why it is so necessary to keep " looking unto Jesus ".

My worth to God publicly is measured by what I really am in my private life.

We make it our aim . . . to be well pleasing to Him.—2 Corinthians 5:9

" When we affirm actions and attitudes, we reap more of them.
Wise people know to reward the behavior they want to see more of."
