In the Zone
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.
Isaiah 26:3
Quarterback
Kirk Cousins has a brain coach who helps him sharpen his focus. During
the 2016 off-season, for example, Kirk watched every Star Wars
movie with EEG monitors attached to his head. If his brain lost focus,
the movie would shut down. To enjoy the film, Cousins had to stay
focused on it. In so doing, he was training his mind to stay “in the
zone.”1
We
have to train our thoughts to focus on the Lord. This year is bound to
be distracting and distressing, but instead of obsessing about people or
politics, let’s keep our thoughts fixed on Jesus.
Philippians
3:12-14 says in the New Living Translation: “I press on to possess that
perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers
and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing:
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on
to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which
God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
He keeps those in perfect peace whose minds are focused on Him.
Dr. David Jeremiah
We
should invest our time, finances, and talents in the coming kingdom and
focus on Christ as the center, source, and goal of our lives.
