Irritations want attention
And will rob our precious time.
They sidetrack us from purpose
And those issues which we know are prime.
We must learn to persevere
And not allow a trivial thing
To vex us and to take a toll.
To our focus we must cling.
When we find the Lord’s direction
Our attention then is “fixed”.
By our focus on our goal
Irritations then are “nixed”.
“...But one thing I do (it is my one aspiration): forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the (supreme and heavenly) prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.”
Philippians 3:13-14 Amplified Bible
