Complacency is the most dangerous place for Christians to find themselves.  It is easy to allow life to get in our way.  We will say, “I am really busy today, I will skip my bible reading.” Or “I don’t have time to concentrate on prayer, I will say a quick prayer and I will pray longer tomorrow.” One day turns into a week, then a month before you know it a month has gone by and then…we find ourselves in a place that forces us to our knees.

The word of God renews our minds.  It helps us to keep our hands clean and our feet out of mischief. We can be fine one moment and under attack the next.  If we haven’t spent much time praying or studying, we will be weak.  Fighting off the attack will be harder.  The enemy watches to see when we are at what he thinks is a weak moment. We cannot get complacent and give him an opportunity to attack.

Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We renew our mind by being in God’s presence and allowing the Word to wash and cleans our mind. There are times when we feel like we get nothing out of our reading of the word.  But it is not just words on a page it is living and transforming. It will get in our spirit and gives us what we need, even when we don’t feel like anything is different.

Psalm 119:11 -11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

 We hide the word in our hearts. It will be there when the enemy comes to cause trouble by lying to us. We will be empowered to say, “No satan, the word says ….” We can quote the word that is hidden in our hearts.

Reading, prayer, worship, along with fellowship with other believers will help us to keep our God Focus.  Jesus is the best thing to keep our focus on in this life.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
