Focus Without Being Distracted

Have you noticed what happens when you beckon on someone but just as you beckon on the person, you immediately start talking with another person for a long time. The person you beckoned at first would feel you don't really need his help. But if you really need the person's help, you shut up any other distraction and then you focus on the person you beckoned and explain why he was called and you get the job done.

These scenarios also apply when you call Jesus. David said in Psalm 145:18-19, "The Lord is near to all upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfil the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them." (Amplified version).

Now, this passage doesn't mean you have to start begging God, no you don't. To call upon God sincerely and in truth implies you really need God and more importantly it shows neither you nor another person can fix the problems you have.

As Apostle Paul said in Romans 10:9 which says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." And verse 13 says, "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."

This action in Romans 10 is not a child's play, if you're in, you're in. You have to be serious, this is why the result of you calling Him is that, "He will fulfil the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them."

The point here is that God has designed man to focus on only one thing, let me elaborate; as a human, you can see everything with your eyes, but you can only focus on one thing at a time; you can hear everything but you can only listen to one thing at a time and this applies to the other senses; it's just our focus.

If your focus is on Christ, it implies you've turned off every distraction and what happens when you do that is that, Christ would always be there when you need Him, you will hear Him clearly as He directs you and becomes the good Shepherd in Psalm 23, who is Jesus.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven't. Pray out loud, "Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!" Congratulations, you're born again, you are now brand new!
