Sometimes the distractions of everyday life cause us to lose focus on our target – which should be a Godly life. “Did you hear what she said about me?” Can you believe he did that?” Blah, blah, blah! Sound familiar? In fact, sometimes the stress of daily distraction makes the target almost impossible to even see!
HOW CAN YOU FOCUS ON SOMETHING YOU CAN”T SEE???
Well, by focusing on someone you can’t see of course!
An effort must be made daily to at least keep the target in view! I know that sometimes we all miss the mark – miss the bull’s-eye – but at least we’re in a position to hit the target.
What happens if we lose sight of the target? We become the target! We become the target because we have not taken the necessary precautions to safeguard our own lives against the angst of the world – and the world begins to fire at us – and it fires more than darts!
It fires sin – temptation – anger – bitterness – resentment – lying – pain and death –
If we focus on living a Godly life we gain all of the protections afforded us by our “Biblical Constitution”. Our Biblical Constitution is all of the blessings and safeguards we gain when we surrender to Christ and dedicate ourselves to him – The Constitutional Amendments have already been written in the blood of Jesus and just as in the United States, when we’re born again in Christ, we are automatically citizens guarded and protected by the power of the Biblical Constitution…
Take the time every day to focus on the target – God, Christ – He alone will keep the target in view –
If you’re not careful – you’ll never see the alternative coming and before you know it – you’re the bull’s-eye!
