Guarding Our Focus

Sometimes in our "walk"
Our attention span will wander.
When we're off on "bunny trails",
God's purpose we may squander.

Keeping focused in the Lord
Is manna we should savor,
Lest glancing off to left or right
May cause our steps to waver.

Distractions will rob energy
And cause us to lose track.
The time and purpose we may lose
Sometimes we can't get back.

Patterns in the way we live
May need a fresh, new change.
And it may be a challenge...
Our time to re-arrange.

When our thoughts are trained on Him
Then we will be at rest.
And in our daily walk with Him
We truly will be blessed.

"I will praise the Lord with my whole heart..."
Psalm 111:1 KJV

"Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."
Proverbs 16:3 KJV
