Keep your focus.
Here lately, I have been struggling with whether or not to get rid of social media for a little bit or maybe even a longer time than planned, and putting my main focus on God. There are many different things that cause us to fade away from God, but mine is social media. Ya know, the good ole Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. Sometimes I sit here and question/think to myself, "Do I really want to do this?", "Do I want to lose my Snapchat streaks?", "Facebook helps me keep up with my family and friends back home.", "Instagram is the place to scroll through many different pictures and see what everyone else is doing." All of this is easier said than done. We all wonder, what will I do with all of that extra time? Well, that's where, "Putting Our Main Focus on God" comes into play.
Social media is a distraction in my life, which causes me to lose focus on the most important person that has ever beenā¦ God. I always get on these highs of being focused on God, reading my Bible everyday, praying all the time throughout the day, and so much more. Then life gets in the way, and bam, there goes that high. I stop reading my Bible everyday, I stop praying all the time, I don't spend time with God like I'm supposed to. I lose my focus on Him, and put my focus on everything else. I'm too worried about what other people are doing, what other people are posting, seeing how their life is going, and not being focused on the plans God has for me. I've definitely realized that not having my focus on God makes a world of a difference throughout my days. I can tell when I'm focused on Him and when I'm not.
Hebrews 12:2 clearly says, "...looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." In other words, we must fix our eyes on Jesus. Focus on His plan for your life. Focus on what He is showing you. Just be focused on Him. Life will be so much better when we are all focused on the One True King.
Spending time with God puts everything into perspective.
