"In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.... Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose."
Psalm 25:1,12
Obsession - "the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image or desire" (dictionary.com)
Whatever obsesses me gets my attention. In fact, it dominates me. Same for you!
There are so many things that I can and do spend immense amount of time (that is obsession) daily. Many of them are supposedly legitimate and pressing issues that have to do with my family, work, ministry and even just for myself.
And the truth is many of us can be (or are) obsessed with such "needs". We let ourselves be sapped of our energy, joy and in doing so, miss the purpose that Abba Father has planned for us.
If we are ready to allow God to instruct our ways, we can live a meaningful, significant and purposeful life- John 10:10.
"Where does my help comes from? My help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let my foot slip..." (Psalm 121)
Let's decide to put our "trust in the Lord .... He will instruct us in the ways we should choose."
If we are not obsessed by the Lord, we will be obsessed by something else. So, be obsessed by our Abba Father.
God bless.
Steven
