FOCUS, FOCUS AND THEN FOCUS MORE!

“Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.” Romans 13:14

When we know we should avoid a certain place, but we go there anyway, it is sin. When we recognize that a certain activity is a temptation for us, but still participate in it, we are dishonoring the Lord. We are to pursue God’s will for our lives, which leaves us no room for sinful habits that once held us in bondage. We will either commit ourselves completely to the Lord Jesus Christ or we will continue to be preoccupied with our lust. We cannot do both because they are incompatible with one another. We often like to set on the fence and decide on our own when we want to follow God’s ways or follow our own desires in life. Jesus came to free us of our bondage. He came to set us free from the temptations of this life but if we continue to focus on the evil that is all around us, we are choosing the world over our Lord. Some will say that we were born as sinners, so it is impossible to stay clean in the Lord Jesus. Yes, we were all born sinners but when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, it is He we are to focus on and not sin. We may slip once in a while, but He is always there to pick us up. We are work hard to follow the ways of our Lord. We are to focus on Him and stay focused on Him! It is when we take our eyes off of our Lord that we slip and fall. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
