Matthew 6:33 KJV

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. –

DAILY READING          •              2 Corinthians 8; 2 Kings 20-21; Nahum 2

The human mind is often filled with distracting thoughts. The mind is like a butterfly that flies from one flower to another, never standing still. Experts estimate that human beings think between 50,000- 70,000 thoughts a day . That’s an average of 2500 – 3,300 thoughts per hour. That’s incredible. 95% of these thoughts are repetitive of previous days and 80% of the habitual thoughts are negative. If you pay attention to these thoughts, you would be amazed to discover that most of them are useless, unimportant thoughts that pass through the mind with a huge speed. These are words you repeat in your mind, comments the mind makes, repeating what you heard said, questions, answers and a lot of senseless wandering thoughts that you might not even be aware of. An inner dialogue is going on all the time. In normal, daily life, you might not always be aware of this endless thinking. Most of this thinking is an automatic process, a mental habit. It is only when you need to focus on some particular thing that you become aware of the many thoughts that keep distracting your focus and attracting your attention. One of the most important ways of combating negative thoughts is to understand how critical the quality of your thinking is because our destiny is consistently shaped by our thoughts. 

Proverbs 23;7 says /For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:/

The truth is that what we focus on is eventually what we attract into our lives. You need to take control of your mind by filling your heart with The Word of God, so that God’s thoughts alone dominate your thoughts. 

We have only a certain amount of energy for each day, and if we use it for the wrong purpose it will only be a waste. If we focus our thoughts on negative things then we’re not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes. For instance do you know that it takes a lot of  energy  to be bitter or to hold a grudge?  As much as you may want to, you can’t control what other people say or do; you can only control yourself. So focus your mind on the important things, on fulfilling your God given assignment and moving forward in life. On your journey to greatness you must keep your mind properly focused. When you have the right focus you gain power to create amazing impact.

Jesus was focused on His assignment, while He was on the earth. When the Jews  came to make Him king He refused, because for Him it was a distraction, rather He was focused on His mission. His impact is still speaking powerfully more than 2000 years after.

Lets learn to focus our lives on what really matters. And concerning our lives, Jesus said one thing is needful to do and that is sitting down and hearing His Word as Mary did. When you seek the Kingdom of God first, then everything other thing indeed will be added unto you.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be focused on what is truly important, help me to weed out every distracting thought and only focus on seeking your kingdom first at all times in Jesus Name
