While travelling recently I heard a lady say that she reads the horoscope every day but does not believe in it. Listening to her try to explain that even though she thought that her day would be ruined if she didn't read the horoscope and also say that she didn't believe in horoscopes or astrology made me realise that many times we are confused about what we believe and its power over our lives.
Many today are seeking for direction in life; more are seeking for appreciation and a pick me up either in coffee or in words spoken to them at the start of the day. As I thought about the lady and her denial about her beliefs I began to think about the many times we read the bible and don't believe it. The same attitude this lady was displaying can be found amongst many believers today. As I sat to examine myself I realised that many times in life our hearts get congested with the rigours of life and as a consequence we lose focus.
Loss of focus leads to sinking, especially when waking in faith. Peter showed us that one cannot walk on water and expect to remain on top in life whilst looking at the storms Matthew 14:29-30. I realised that many times I sink in life when I don't focus on what God has said. Let me encourage you this week not to treat the Word of life lightly like its some ritual religious reading material to start the day off but let it be a faith builder for your life.
