Keep Your Focus on the Target
Posted: 11/3/2009

 

Dear readers,
It’s easy to become distracted by the world, but we must maintain clear vision of our goal.

Clyde and Dee Kilough

Keep Your Focus on the Target

Hitting the bull’s eye means hitting the center of a target in some endeavor. In order to have success we must see the center circle clearly. Once we perceive the objective, we can shoot for it straight and hard.

We have to focus on the targets in our lives unless we are taking a necessary break for rest. But we must watch out for diversions that take our minds off the main objective. Lot’s wife struggled with distractions that ended in her demise. She looked back at what she was leaving with longing in her eyes rather than forward to a better goal and purpose in life (Genesis 19:26).

We will not hit our target unless we focus our attention fully and clearly on the goal. Life demands that we know the destination and purpose of life. Without such focus, we end up wandering aimlessly and without success. We must learn from Lot’s wife and keep the vision of the future God offers us clear in our minds.
