When we get hungry, a bag of chips becomes tantalizing because we have told ourselves over and over, “I am NOT going to eat the chips.” We need to focus on eating an orange or some carrots INSTEAD of chips because we do what we focus on.
We Need To Fix Our Focus
The Bible reads, “Without a vision my people perish.” (Habakkuk 2:2) Remember the Bible reads, “I’ll give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4) For us to head in that direction we need to do as Proverbs 4:25 says, “Let your eyes look right on the fixed purpose.” What’s your purpose? “And let your gaze be straight before you.” In other words, it’s saying look here, not over there. We need to fix our focus.
Put God In The Middle Of It!
Psalms 92:13 it says, “Planted in the house of the Lord they shall flourish in the course of God.” One of the things people overlook is putting God in the middle of their goals. We can’t just say, “Okay God, here’s my plan, now bless it.” We need to ensure it is not an external influence like keeping up with the Joneses. We need to see what He has put in our heart and ensure that’s where it’s coming from.
