Center Focused

Ever been to a three-ring circle?  So much to see, and you want to see it all!  But with so much going on in three different rings, it’s near-to-impossible!

What’s your life’s center-focus?  For many, it depends on what time of the day, day of the week, or season of the year you ask.  If we are honest about it, most of us live life a bit off-center and out-of-focus.  If not THE center, Psalm 117 is near the middle of the Bible and it’s message is no happenstance: "Praise the Lord, all nations; Laud Him, all people! For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"  Center of God’s Word or not, it certainly should centralize and draw lives of Believers into focus!  To be absolutely grateful, one will complain; to be completely contented, one will not be covetous; to be genuinely compassionate, one will not be critical; to have faith, one will not be filled with doubt.  When we embrace the delightful merciful kindnesses of The Father, we become Center-focused.  And, although life may seem like a three-ring circus, we have no trouble seeing what matters most … The Center.

Dear Lord,

Turn my heart toward You and keep my eyes fixed on You.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
