If you were put in a place with food and water given to you everyday with nothing to do to get them. Were will your focus be? Abraham, Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, Jesus...were are taken to the wilderness (desert) and their foucs grew crisper and sharper. Does is have to do anything with the geographical location?
Intel corp, in it's race to make the fastest microchip mentioned that 'human brains stays in focus only for one half second'! Wow!
Our focus should be on loving God and loving our neighbour. A lot of things gets into our path and we stay distracted, confused and worried. Paul says that "I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing christ...." these things include the blessings recieved from God. God gives and takes away. The things not known are more greater than the things which have already happened.
In the story of Jesus visitng Mary and Martha's home, Jesus saw that Martha was busy of the things of the world,whereas Mary choose the thing more important than that. Are we focused on the things of this world or on God? Are we doing what it takes to stay focus on God?
