Today's Focus: Where Focus Leads
Have you been on a walking, cycling or equestrian trail? One thing each trail has in common is that it leads somewhere. Perhaps it leads to another side of a river, city or mountain. But, it leads to a destination, even if it’s in the middle of a forest.
Similarly, wherever you focus your mind—whether on the human nature or the Spirit—it leads somewhere. If you focus on the human nature, it leads to death. Interestingly, the route to death doesn’t always look like death initially. It may appear exhilarating and prosperous for a season. And if you focus on the Spirit, it leads not only to life, but peace also. This route contains suffering and persecution, but ultimately, life awaits. Today, choose your focus and remember, you’re going somewhere.
