1 John 4:5 – 6 (NASB)
“They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
I have heard the phrase many times “get your head into the game.” There are times in life that things pass us by and we look back and try to figure out what happened. Have you ever driven somewhere and looked back and wonder how I missed a familiar sight? I know I have. My mind wasn’t in the game.
That happens to us sometimes in our Christian walk. Believers are in the world but we cannot be absorbed by it. Paul told us to not be conformed to this world but to look toward the next one.
How often do we think about heaven? We may be doing so more now with the conflict in Middle East. It is time to look forward, look toward heaven by staying pure in this world. Satan will attempt to get you to stray from the narrow path by offering things that look enticing when indeed they are destructive to us.
Keeping “our head in the game” is like keeping on track in our Christian life. We must focus on the future keeping a vigilant eye on our daily walk. Keep a watch out for those we associate with so that we are not led astray. Those we come in contact with who need a life change a new Master offer them Jesus by sharing our faith in our “two minute” God story.
As we interact for Christ we will sense His presence.
God Bless.
