Focus Where It Matters

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a little bit today of what I have been learning recently!

One thought I have had is that where we focus our attention matters. We all have really busy lives with so many ups and downs and new things happen all the time! It is easy to get lost in the business sometimes and forget what truly matters.

I was recently reading about the Children of Israel and their experience with the golden calf. They had an opportunity to go into the mountains and talk with God face to face. Because they were afraid though, they decided to not accept that blessing. While they waited for Moses to return they also decided to construct a golden calf and worship it. I’m sure there were cultural, personal, and other pressures that influenced them to make this decision. They were focused on the wrong things and because of it they missed out on blessings.

When we, in our lives, become so focused on things around us that are not so important, it can really cause us to make errors in judgment and not live up to what we know is right. I have found that daily scripture study and personal prayer has allowed me to stay focused and rooted in the things that matter most. A lot of that is because it invites the Spirit of God into my life which provides me with inspiration and revelation.

As you go throughout your week, make sure that you find time to get back to the things that matter most and you will find enrichment and additional blessings that you did not see before.
