Today’s Blog: 2020 Focus

TODAY’S PROVERB: … now in the streets, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks. Proverbs 7:12, TLV

I hope you’ll give me a bit of poetic license here. Today’s selection is within the context of the “seducing woman” (Proverbs 7:5). Which, of course, implies a sexual issue — definitely a sinful issue. But, I selected this passage because of my word for 2020: Focus. Okay. Let me say it once more and I won’t say it again: I have 2020 Focus!

Focus is about centering our attention, a place of concentration. It is a state or condition that enables us to have a clear perception or understanding of the recipient of that focus.

Today’s excerpt depicts this woman as on the prowl for her next victim. Yet, I sense that frenetic desperation that comes from a troubled mind. A mind that has no peace.

And, that’s why my focus for 2020 is focus. Right now I have several “irons” in the fire. All of them seem valuable — many of them I know are things our Father said to do. However, it’s clear, not all of them. Sigh.

So, rather than running to and fro, spending more and more time on things that are worthy, but maybe not God-ordained, I need to stop and listen. Because the more I “to and fro” the less peace I have And that’s not where I want to be.

How about you? Has the Holy Spirit impressed upon you a focus for 2020? Please share what that is, and why you believe He has given you this directive.

May we focus on God’s focus, my friends.
