It is no easy matter to maintain focus in life. Life happens; busyness is normal. Life fills with the urgent and the trivial. Life pushes priorities to the periphery. To what end? To what purpose?
God wishes our lives to reflect his presence and possibilities. In the midst of life’s seemingly meaningless activity, God gives life a sense of eternity that transcends the here and now. Life is not about here. Life is not about now.
Today, let us not be overwhelmed by the “stuff” of life, lest we fail to make of life what God intends for his children. Life at its best is lived in relationship with the God of heaven who understands, hears, and directs our lives.
