When a person is focused, they develop a sense of destiny and purpose and start to believe in themselves. Suddenly, destiny is attainable, focus is sharpened and you develop that 'iron' or determination in your soul. Awesome! If we don't focus on the right thing we are in trouble. There's a temptation to focus on the gift, and not the gift giver. This leads to striving and comparing, discontentment, greed and jealousy. Yuk! Don't even go there! If we get our eyes off the prize, we focus our efforts inward rather than outward...and that, my friend, is dangerous ground. Focus on the Lord, and not just all His benefits.
