Focus

Last week our wed biblestudy was in 1 Peter 1:13 "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind,. . . " and then got off on a rabbit trail about "how the enemy has any access to our mind or not and the evil or holy thoughts concept". And people were slinging this out and that out, and whether they are all "Biblical" or not is where I just jumped off and said ~ Well if the enemy has so many ways to attack me, what are they, where are the descriptions of his "ways" in the Bible . . . and by then we were so far off track, we just shut it down and prayed and ended the evening.

So, I was later in the week, fully expecting to hear from the Lord about it and was doing some minor research, when He ever so sweetly spoke into my heart and revealed that I should research Him, keep my focus on Him, and KNOW Him, and then when it is NOT of Him, I would KNOW. Not wasting precious energy researching the enemy, because it takes my focus OFF Him.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children keep yourself from idols. Amen

Obviously I am quite content with that :)
