WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS AND WHERE SHOULD YOU GO LOOKING FOR IT?

Below is YOUR ONE A DAY (Note from Neil) & "A ONE LINER FOR YOUR SOUL" 

 

      Take this seed of a thought below and turn it into a wisdom tree.

 

      THE GREAT GOD HIMSELF

 

Handel wrote the “Messiah” in a little more than three weeks.  During this period of time, he seemed in the world, yet not of the world.  He forgot to eat.  He forgot to sleep.  When Part Two was finished, which contains the Hallelujah Chorus, he walked to the window and with his eyes glistening with tears said, “…I did see all heaven before me, and the great God Himself.”

In C.S. Lewis’s book SCREWTAPE LETTERS the devil tells of a man who goes into a library to read and think. It is quiet and peaceful and his mind begins to turn to God.

Quite naturally, in not that long a time, he begins to think of eternity and his place in the scheme of such heavenly things.

Then, the little demon who has been assigned to him by the big devil, for this is what the book is all about, takes over. .

He makes him aware of the sounds of the street. They are muted, but if he takes his mind away from meditation and God, he can hear them.

Before he had not heard the cry of a paperboy calling out the latest news (remember, this book was written over half a century ago) but now he does, and the roar of the engines and the constant tooting of horns. All reverberations of where he lives, earth, and not about heaven.

And so, because of these earthly sounds, his mind wanders further from God.

It is not that they are bad sounds.

It is just that it is difficult for man to focus on more than one thing at a time. Soon he finds himself growing very hungry.

He looks at his watch. It is almost lunch time.

Other things intrude and soon any thoughts of God are really on the back burner.

He has been delivered from the danger of daring to think about God. And the devil is happy and the little demon received his proper and, he felt, well earned hellish award.

Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
