In Focus

As we hang on the edge of a year gone by and look tomorrow to a new one....I sense this calling in my spirit to set my feet...to look around me and re-align anything that is out of focus....to voice the intention of my path to my husband and my children, my family and my sisters...that we may exhort one another and walk together...leading, carrying or following with our brothers and sisters as the Lord Himself guides.

The focus of my path hasn't changed....I have set my compass to point North....but as I sat with Jesus this morning, my spirit within me was moved several times to affirm to Him my heart as He was affirming His own heart to me...

I never plan to lose focus....it just happens sometimes with the busyness that comes from living in the world we live. Just like a camera loses its focal point when you are moving it around, we must constantly re-align with our subject, our Glorious Hope, in order to keep our focus.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you,

in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your

power and your glory.

Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name

I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through

the watches of the night.

Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 63:1-8

Sisters...let us focus our hearts on Jesus, our One and Only, our Hope, our Joy, our Life.
