Focused on the goal-part 2

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.

Look, everybody, the bottom line is that we have to focus on the task at hand, right? What did God tell you to do? Focus on that. Yes, and if it's one thing, stay with one thing; if it's two things, stay with two things. But it's not going to be too much that He tells us to do at once. I do believe in the phrase, "staying in our lane." There are certain times that we need to cross over to other lanes and go pass other cars. But we have to know when the Lord tells us to do that. For now, I'm staying in my lane. That's what I have to do.  I'm focused on my lane and I don't have to cross over to another lane right now in my life. I don't.

We have to focus on what God told us was going to happen. We have to focus on that awesome and godly thing that lives in our heart. We cannot and must not, get sidetracked and distracted by the unnecessary and the unimportant. You know what God put in your spirit. I know what God put in mine. We know it and we can't be concerned about the negativity and the people who don't get it. We get it. God gets it. And that's good enough for me. How about you? In fact, it's great enough for me.

Philippians 3:15/16 says, "So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it." And that's it. Focused. On. The. Goal.
