"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." -Galatians 1:10 (NIV)
There are many competing interests in our lives. It seems as if everyone from advertisers to employers are vying for our attention. We may try to gain the approval of family, friends, co-workers, or bosses. However, we really need to concentrate on having a Godly focus!
While the world may try to distract us, we need to keep our focus on God and His Will. To maintain our focus, we should spend time with God each and every day. We can be near to Him in His Word as we read and study it. We can also draw near to Him through prayer and conversation. Finally, we should not neglect giving God praise and thanksgiving for all of His blessings in our lives. As we build a closer relationship with God, we will become more God-focused and reap the benefits in this life and for all eternity!
Draw near to God and live a more God-focused life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for having a relationship with me. Help me to draw even closer to You and to live a life focused on You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
