Focus

Where has my focus been lately?

It's been on myself. What do I do next? How will I study for this test? What will happen to me in the future?

Lately, everything has been weighing me down. I feel like everything is so heavy I can't handle it anymore. What did I do? I fell on my face before God and began to pray. I asked him what I was doing wrong and what I should do about it. I quickly realized something. I've been going to my friends about problems and not God. I hadn't been seeking Him. I was seeking approval from others. I was focusing on myself and my problems. I wasn't being who I needed to be. I sought my own pleasure instead of doing things that would bring God pleasure.

Psalm 55:22 says,
"Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." (NASB)

I need to cast my burdens upon Him, not others. He will sustain me. I will not be moved. As Needtobreathe so rightly puts it, "Yahweh, Yahweh, Great is Your glory, You go before me." Dear interwebspace, I want you to know that I plan to put God first, and that I will cast my cares upon Him. I will focus. I will listen to the Holy Spirit and what He tells me to do.

If you're out there reading this, I want you to learn from my failure. Put God first. Go to God first. He will sustain you. People will let you down 100% of the time. God won't.
