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 Luke 12:32-59; Genesis 22; Psalm 15

 You can set a piece of paper ablaze without lighting a fire.

How? Simply through focus. When you focus the sun’s light through a magnifying glass it can set even grass ablaze. If you can focus it even more, it becomes a laser beam. Concentrate sufficient power behind the light and the laser can cut through steel, or concrete and can even destroy cancer. That is the power and effectiveness of focus. When you have focus you gain power to create amazing impact.

An unfocused life is an unimpactful life.. People spend too much time on distracting thoughts. Human beings think between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day, mainly mental chatter, images or movies playing in the head. 95% of these thoughts are repetitive of previous days and 80% of the habitual thoughts are negative.

It is important to note that what we focus on is eventually what we attract into our lives. Our destiny is consistently shaped by our thoughts. Many people’s lives make   no impact because they are dissipating energy on unnecessary things instead of focusing on what is needful. They may end up as jack of all trades yet master of none. Every tree bears a particular fruit, every successful business has one unique selling point they focus on.  What is your focus? Concerning His own life, Jesus said to this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. [John 18:37].  He was focused on His assignment, the reason He came to earth. When they came to make Him king He refused, because He was focused on His mission. His impact is still speaking powerfully more than 2000 years after.

To make impact in life you have to be focused. Persistence breaks down resistance.  Jesus said one thing is needful [Luke 10:42] , and what is that needful thing? Sitting down and hearing His Word as Mary did.  This means giving The Word of God priority in your life and in all your endeavors. When you seek the Kingdom of God first, then every other thing will be added unto you.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be focused on what is truly important, help me to seek your kingdom first.. ..
