Focusనమూనా

It’s not easy to stay focused, right? Maybe you’ve struggled recently to stay focused on your homework, the story your friend was telling you, or the movie you were watching — but have you ever struggled to stay focused when you were spending time with God? I’m guessing the answer is yes. Reading and studying the Bible isn’t always the easiest thing to focus on. I get it! But why does it matter if we focus on what God tells us through Scripture? In Matthew 4, Jesus has a pretty interesting conversation with the devil. The devil throws distraction after distraction at Jesus, trying to get him to give up on his mission. And how did Jesus fight back? By quoting Scripture. Rather than getting distracted, he focused on the truth of God’s words. And you and I can fight lies and distractions with God’s truth in the same way. That’s the power of focusing on what God has said.
