Maintain the focus, oh look a deer!, CODY..... maintain the focus....
Psalm 119
10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
19I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
I just really like these many verses. Really a constant reminder. Sometimes, I just feel like what is going on in my life? What do I really want for my life? Knowing that deep down I want God to be the center. These verses convict and tell me that I need to declare His Greatness and remember His word. Sometimes I just want to Cry Out and just have Him take control of me. For it gets to be too great. Its because I want to carry the load. Call it pride call it manliness, but I so often want to just handle things my way.
For instance, this weekend. My brain should never be left away from my good guy friends for more then a couple days. I go wacko and my brain can't control its thoughts. ...........I needed to rely on my Best Guy Friend, the Lord and lean not on my own understanding!!!!!! this post is a little weird and everywhere. If you all can make sense of it. You're better then me. All I can say is........Praise Jesus for Grace!

mmhmm. Amen Cody, whether it's over the same matter or not, I can relate with what you say... I think most of us can, my inability to focus on God can be ubber frustrating, His grace is right there, all we need to do is look up and there it is, but man do we (I) like to get distracted, I mean there's no better place to be 24 hours a day, that's the hard part being vigilant for consistency. God will lift up your head bro! Love ya, and you're post encouraged me, thanks!
Cody!!! I an relate bro! Just know that I am only a phone call away. prayin' for you man!!
as we continue to read the Word of God and allow the Word to work in us and thru us, we become more disciplined, which in turn helps our focus. i've had a relationship with the Lord for almost 21 years, and i still have to pray for focus. it's an everyday walk. God knows our hearts. your blog comments and scriptures are an encouragement to me.
