Remain Focus
My eyes are ever toward the LORD
Psalms 25:15

In Psalm 1 we learn that there are two ways: One is right and leads to God. The other is wrong and does not lead to our heavenly father. Psalm 25 focus on the right road. It tells us that it is not easy, but it teaches us not to stop believing in God just because life becomes hard. We must not do things in our own way. We must do things God's way. He will always send us help. It also tells us to remain focus on God in adversity. When you keep your attention to Him, the situation around you will not be able to affect you as much because you will constantly be reminded of His glory and power, and you will know without a doubt that He is able to do anything, even remove your road blocks and changing your circumstances into opportunities. There is no limit to what you can accomplish when you keep your eyes on a goal because the dream (goal) is a much more powerful force than ability.
Trouble comes when you stop focusing on your goal. I used mental imagery and always try to motivate people about how to turn dream into reality. Well a few years ago I was working as a manager and I spent a lot of personal time training my assistant. I thought her everything I know about the business. I wanted her to be able to handle every aspect of it to make my life easier. The word around the store used to be that there were two "me". I couldn't be any happier. I even taught her the steps to accomplish her dearest goal. Life was sweet. I was able to come to work late and call on her whenever I needed. Well, one morning she came to the office and told me about her plan to move to Panama City, FL. I almost stop breathing, but then I relaxed because I figured it was just small talk, because she has no resources, but one morning I came to work and there was a map of Panama City on her desk, I could not believe it. A month later the map was up with highlight of different areas. Another month later a few areas were circled. A few weeks later there were photos of houses in Panama City on the wall and one day she asked me for a weekend off to go to (guess where?) Panama City… to take a look around, and a few weeks later she was gone. Within seven months Angela, who is now one of my best friends was gone. She was able to accomplish the impossible because she kept her eyes on the goal. Everything that I have done to discourage her and keep her from accomplishing her dream had absolutely no impact. Keeping her eyes on her goal was much powerful force than her obstacles.
Friend, do you know why you worry and keep going in circle? Do you know why you are still struggling with the same sins, the same obstacle without getting any results? I can guarantee you that it is because you take your eyes off of God. There cannot be discouragement or defeat when you keep your eyes on the Lord. When you keep your eyes on Him, His might and power become your strength and you are able to handle anything, glory to God
Have you taken your eyes away from God? Have you been going around your dream and yet unable to accomplish them? Re-align your thoughts, turn to God and watch your dearest struggles turn to victory.
Praise the Lord!
