When we focus on what we see, our mind’s not focused on Eternity, <br />On those eternal things above, that we receive, through God’s Love. <br />Things we focus on here below, earthly things, we’ve come to know, <br />Can fill our heart with undue fear, when we limit our focus down here. <br /> <br />For our focus turns into concern, and a heart inside begins to yearn, <br />But not prompted by pleasantries, but, the heart filled with anxieties, <br />About the things we can’t control, while worry begins to take its toll, <br />With concerns far above our realm, a heart will just be overwhelmed. <br /> <br />Our concerns cannot be all ignored, but, must be given to The Lord, <br />Who sits above Heavenly realms, and our concerns He overwhelms. <br />With His Eternal Authority over all, earthly concerns to Him are small, <br />And in His time, I need to learn, He handles each and every concern. <br /> <br />Concerns, when they overwhelm us, lead us away from simple trust, <br />The simple faith we place in Him, when Christ saved us from our sin. <br />Through our trial, God gets Glory, as it was in Israel’s Exodus story, <br />Even with Pharaoh’s hardened heart, came a Glory that didn’t depart. <br /> <br />Today, our eyes should always be, focused on The Lord of Eternity, <br />The same one who delivered Israel, will work in our life His good will, <br />Today take on His yoke that’s light, for what He does, He does right, <br />To work out His purpose in the life, of all who belong to Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©01/2008)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-proper-focus/
