Focus

For the past 6 weeks in our Young Professional/College Class we have been discussing Eternal Perspectives. Changing our focus off ourselves, and placing it on God, and the work that he has challenged us to do.

"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath."
Psalm 39:4-5

What was your ambition in life when you were younger?

What is it today?

How would you most like to be remembered?

Most of us had dreams and desires of great wealth and fame growing up. But through the "real lessons" of life have realized that “stuff” and riches do not guarantee true happiness in life. Only a life focused on Christ provides satisfaction and peace.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21

As we enter the holiday season of giving, I encourage you to give and build relationships with people as well as build on your relationship with God. That is where true happiness can be found.
