One thing that we all struggle with is focusing on Christ. This world is full of so many distractions and it is easy for us to give into them and lose sight of God. Sometimes my thoughts are so consumed with: "When's this show going to be on?" or "I really want to get this!" or I won't make time to just sit and read my Bible (I still need to do that). I had begun to lose focus and that scared me a little bit . I know I need to keep my eyes fixed on Christ and his kingdom.
I look around and see so many people who love life and all this world has to offer us. People are so obsessed with electonics, movies, work, relationships and life. They try and fill the void in their hearts with that, but the only thing that will fill that void is Christ. So many people pass by and i can't help but wonder what their spiritual state is. Once when I was at Hershey Park, my friend Catriona voiced this thought. It really did make me think.
Hebrews 12:1-2 says: "Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us
throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith" (NIV).
We truly do need to be bold. We are given opportunities to share Christ and we mustn't let them pass us by. Later on, we may regret it...i know this feeling too.
One of my desires is to be used by God in my life and i want to be bold for him. I want to shout out from the roof tops!
