For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. James 3:16
Isn’t the switch too easy?
Usually a moment of pure insanity.
One moment we are living for God…
And the next minute we are focused again on ourselves.
One minute we are speaking life to others…
And before we realize it, we’ve refocused again completely on self.
James reminds us selfishness breeds disorder and every evil thing.
Yuck. Can you picture the ugliness we spread when focused on ourselves?
Ignoring others breeds rejection in their minds.
Always placing your needs first spreads the superiority message.
And that’s just scratching the surface.
What do you generally focus on as you go about your day?
With what lens do you see life?
Your own lens or God’s?
May we stop switching back to our own.
May we look through God’s lens to see what He sees.
And may we choose to focus on what He has for us today.
Come along and make the switch with me.
