The more out of focus I am, the more blurred I become. That's what's wrong with my eyes. My eyes. If I take my glasses off I can see, but you get blurred, because the muscle in my eye that pulls everything into focus, with age has gotten weaker. Is your life blurred, and you've been blaming devils, and demons, and witches, and Mama and Daddy, and ex-husbands and ex-wives when you have the power to bring your life; bring me back. I want to work this thing this morning, because for where God is about to take you, you have got to get your life into focus! You have got to put all of your energies on where you're going. As for me, my wife and I were talking about this the other day. I am too old to be out of focus. I don't have time to be out-of-focus. With the years I got left there are certain things I'm cutting off the list. Can't worry about that.
Can't worry about that. Already tried to fix that. Did all I could do to help that. Now I gotta focus!! This message that I'm teaching today is important to people who are bent on being progressive. Who refuse to be repetitive. To all of you who just are satisfied to go around and around in the wilderness, this is not your Sunday to receive the Word of God. This is for people who have to make it count. I gotta make every step count. I gotta forget those things which are behind and reach to those things which are before. I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus! Where my decision makers? Genesis 22, Abraham has gone as far as he could go with the servants, and he says to the servants, "stay here with the asses. Me and the lad are going yonder to worship." Where I'm getting ready to go I can't take a whole crowd of stuff with me.
If you don't want to go, don't play hard to get, because if you play hard to get you gonna get left behind I got to go. Stay with the asses, me and the lad are going yonder. Oh y'all don't hear what I'm talking about. I'm talking about focus this morning. He said I know it's gonna work for my good. Even though they're preaching it for contention. Even though they are not sincere. Even though they are false. He said I know it's gonna work for my good because I refuse the option to be distracted by somebody else's behavior. Run around, "well, I just don't believe he real. I just don't believe it's of God. I just don't..." I don't have time!! I don't have no opinion about it! It takes all of my time to focus on my business.
I don't have time to focus on your business. You are coming into a season of your life. Touch your neighbor and say, "in this season of my life I've got to focus. I don't have enough strength to do everything. I don't have enough money to do everything. I don't have enough time to do everything. I don't have enough mind to do everything. I've got to..." This is what church does for you. This is what word does for you. This is what teaching does for you. This is what mentoring does for you. It brings you back into FOCUS!! .
