Divine fixation

God sticks his head out of heaven.
     He looks around.
He’s looking for someone not stupid—
     one man, even, God-expectant,
     just one God-ready woman.
~ Psalm 14:2 (MSG)

Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. ~ Romans 12:2 (MSG)

SUMMARY SENTENCE

We're transformed when we fix our attention on God.

PRAYER

Thank you, God, for looking down to us in order to lift us up. I confess that most, if not all, of my attention is consumed by what's happening around me. I don't bother to look up -- even though I say that I'm heavenly focused. Help me to really fix my attention where it belongs so that I can become a mature follower of Christ Jesus. Amen.
