Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
INTRODUCTION: Many times in our spiritual walk we do not understand some things because we are not properly focused. The next few devotionals will discuss some things we should be focused on.
FOCUS ON GOD'S PLAN AND NOT THE WORLD AROUND US
Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the HEATHEN RAGE, and the people imagine vain things?
It is easy to focus on the raging heathen. They are loud, they are powerful, they are obnoxious and they are wrong. Sometimes we let them bully us into giving them their way when we know very well that it is contrary to the will of God. They attack us, call us closed minded, and accuse us of intolerance. If we aren't careful we will find ourselves giving in to them.
While we are in subjection to government because it is ordained of God we still have a higher power to answer too. Daniel and Joseph both were captives in heathen lands but they were still faithful to God and His teachings. We should follow their examples. We live in a democratic nation where we have the privilege of electing our own rulers. If we continue to elect people to represent us that have no fear of God then I believe that we are all in trouble.
We are not to be distracted by the circumstances around us. If our focus is on God and not on the world it will certainly help us to see things in the proper perspective.
