Focus on What God Has Called You to Do

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13–14 NIV)

Singleness of Purpose

Someone once said, “The way to kill a man’s vision is to give him two visions.” How true that is! The key to success is to have a clear, singular focus—and to stay committed to what God created you to do. The apostle Paul said, “This one thing I do.” He knew his mission: to press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God had called him heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Like Paul, we are called to focus fully on God's purpose for our lives. When we put God first in everything, everything else will fall into place.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matt. 6:33 ESV)

God Appointed You to Bear Fruit

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”
(John 15:16 NIV)

God Will Make It Happen

“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” (1 Thess. 5:24 NIV)

Therefore

Stay focused on the one thing God has called you to do. Let go of distractions, trust His guidance, and press on with purpose. He is faithful, and He will bring it to pass.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Rom. 8:28 NIV)
