Once we start walking with God, we will begin to be used by God. Jesus does not just want our focus and full attention so that we can have a happy life. God desires to use you and me to reach a world that is focused elsewhere. Here’s the good news: we don’t have to do it alone. God promises to walk this road with us to get His people back. In fact, Jesus even lays out a step-by-step guide for us to follow. Will you use it?

Just as we learn from Peter in this passage, we begin to sink and fall in life when we lose focus of our one true source of hope. Christ is our guiding light in a dark world. When our eyes are locked on Him, and our lives are seeking to follow Him, we are able to experience Him in magnificent ways. We have already learned that our thoughts have to be in the right place. Now we take it a step further, challenging one another to lock our eyes on the right person.

Much of what we choose to focus on is triggered by what we think about. As we begin this series, Paul talks about the importance of this concept. Our thoughts have the power either to drag us down to an emotional and spiritual valley of some kind, or to lift us high to a mountaintop. As a foundational rule, focusing on the negatives will make it very difficult for us to see the positives.
