Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-mediate on these things. These things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

 

One thing I’ve learned over the years, riding a motorcycle required much concentration. One of the elementary rules: where your eyes look, that’s where you’ll go. If you keep your eyes focused on the road, you’ll stay there. But, once you take your eyes off the road and onto something else, your bike will veer in that direction and without correction, you’ll find yourself headed for disaster.

 

As a Christian, there is one thing I’ve learned about sin, if you think about it, you will fall right into its trap. There is a constant battle, within the mind, between right and wrong. If you focus your thoughts on a specific sin, you will eventually pursue it till its fulfilled.  That is why it's so important to keep your mind focused on good things, spiritual things, pure things, and God’s blessings.

 

As you get older, and life becomes more complicated, it can be difficult to stay focused on the righteous path God desires for you to follow. But God. Thankfully, as a child of God, you have the Holy Spirit, living inside of you, who will help you overcome sinful distractions and focus on living a life pleasing to the Lord.

 

Ask God to help you focus your thoughts in the right direction and He will aid you in your spiritual journey. Reading and memorizing scripture will also help you navigate around life’s distractions. It requires effort and concentration to stay on track, but the benefits of obedience will result in God’s blessings along the way! Stay focused on Him! God bless!
