How to experience your greatest power

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.  King Solomon

Focused people focus people.  Your focus, where you decide to place and keep your attention, is your super power--your heart.  It is the most influential thing about you, what most impacts you and those around you.  You're using it right now as you read, if you're paying attention.  (I hope you are!)

What have you been focusing on today, or trying to focus on?

That says a lot about you, perhaps everything.

Let's ask it another way.

What do you really like focusing on?

I'm convinced that God's gifts to you and me are the things we really like.  There is a verse that relates to this, a verse I thought about in a way I've never done before:

"The joy of the Lord is your strength."

What if the joy you have, which comes from the Lord, is the very source of your strength, the source of your talents and abilities?

Think about it.

When you like doing something, focus comes naturally and easily.  Practice comes naturally and easily.  You want to keep doing what you like doing, to get good at it, so that the joy never stops.  I'm convinced that this is a gift from God, as it is written:

"So I decided that there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work.  Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God." 

Ecclesiastes 2:24 NLT

God is the source of your satisfaction, of what most captures your attention.  He gave you your focus.  Focused people focus people.  What is your focus?
