Galatians 3 :1 You crazy Galatians! Did someone put a hex on you? Have you taken leave of your senses? Something crazy has happened, for it's obvious that you no longer have the crucified Jesus in clear focus in your lives. His sacrifice on the Cross was certainly set before you clearly enough.
(The Message)
Picking up my glasses off the night stand each morning, I was reminded that it is time to get replacement lenses. The scratches on the lenses seem to get worse with every cleaning. It was getting so bad that I sometimes had trouble focusing on a distant object unless I move the glasses around on my nose.
The doctor noted that I have an acute astigmatism which gives me distortion or blurring of images at all distances, headache and fatigue, and squinting along with eye discomfort or irritation. When I forget to pick up my glasses, I sometimes have trouble focusing on objects.
Some of my friends who have had lasik or cataract surgery performed say they are amazed with the results. Most everyone gets immediate results and can see clearly. It just took some correction steps.
Maybe it has been years since you have focused on what Jesus did for each one of us and the rush of our lives has pushed us to look only at today’s wants and not focus on the One who supplies our needs.
When we focus on Christ’s death and resurrection, we realize why we celebrate Christmas and Easter. Without Christ rising from the dead, we have no reason to focus on anything but ourselves. Any society who has adopted that attitude are now only historic societies. You can study history and see when the Lord has taken his hand off them and they are not blessed.
In life today you need to build a faith in the impossible. As you open the Bible and read, it is filled with impossibilities. Yet we think that it happened thousands of years ago and does not happen today. Wrong!
Stop looking at what is right in front of your nose as it may be that your "gimme, gimme" approach to life just isn't working out.
When you step back from yourself, you will see life change, attitude changes, heart changes, marriages restored, emotional repair, physical healing, and so much more. But without getting your life into focus it is all a blur.
Maybe your emotional glasses are scratched and you need to look at the rebirth of spring to really focus on what is important and to build your faith for the impossible for your life. The Lord is waiting for you to ask for the impossible so he can do the impossible in your life.
Are you ready to getting things into focus?
