Stop and Focus

Vision is the art of seeing the invisible. – J. Swift

The bible says Abraham looked for a city not made by human hands. He eventually found it. Hmm!

Have you ever noticed how strangely a pigeon walks? According to research, a pigeon walks the way it does so it can see where it’s going. Because it cannot adjust its focus as it moves, the pigeon actually has to bring its head to a complete stop between steps in order to refocus. If you’ll stop and take a look at this marvel of God this is what you’ll see as it walks: head forward, stop; head back, stop – that’s how it goes. In our spiritual walk with the Lord we have the same problem as the pigeon. We have a hard time seeing while we’re moving. We also need to stop between steps to refocus on where we are in relation to the Word and the will of God. This is not to say we have to stop and pray and meditate about every little decision in life. But certainly our walk with the Lord needs to have built into it a pattern of “stops” which will enable us to see more clearly before moving on.

Until tomorrow…..
