TOPIC: THE BLESSING OF FOCUS (Part 3)

BIBLE TEXT: “Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage] and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity].” – Proverbs 4:25, AMP.

According to God’s word in Joshua 1, one of the most important pieces of advice the Lord gave to Joshua after he took over the leadership of Israel from Moses was that he needed to become a person of focus.

The Lord had made many good promises to Joshua many good things. He said to him, “as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. You will never lose a battle. Nobody will be able to stand against you.” The Lord made many wonderful promises to him.

But Joshua also received counsel from the Lord. It was a counsel on focus. In other words, “if my words are not going to fail, if performance must be experienced to everything I have said, then Joshua, you must develop the discipline of focus.”

Now that the Lord has led us into a new day/season, you must embrace the discipline of focus this week, month, and year. Without focus, the day/week/month may pass with little progress or achievement. Always remember that with the right focus, there is no mountain that cannot be climbed or limit that cannot be crossed.

WISDOM PUSH

1. One of the benefits of wisdom is that it helps us focus.
2. Lack of focus is a type of indiscipline that you must consistently overcome.
3. Great privileges, platforms, and opportunities are squandered in the absence of focus.
