Worship is (still) focus!
Over the last two years, I've posted almost 160 blogs on a host of topics. Back in May of 2023, I did a series on worship. One of them was "Worship is focus." Most of what I write flows from my own experiences walking with Jesus. When I wrote that worship is focus two years ago, I said that we worship what holds our attention. Most of the time, we think of possessions, money, power, etc. The truth is that worry, fear, and anxiety can also be our focus. We have a choice. I cannot help my emotions, but I can choose not to wallow in them. Over time, my reactions will change. Things I found scary as a child don't terrify me any more. Focusing on Jesus changes me.
My orders ended yesterday. I have no insurance because of a glitch in the system, and no income. I don't know when my new orders are coming. I don't know how we're going to financially make it the next two months. I don't know what the next two years will look like. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get home. All of this is a recipe for worry, anxiety, and fear. However, I decided long ago to be a follower of Christ. I have chosen to focus on Him rather than my circumstances. So today, January 22nd, 2025, I am not worried. I'm super interested to see how this all turns out, but I'm not worried.
Worship is (still) focus. I pray you focus on the right things as well!
