This is devotional thought number 31 in our devotional series, “The Gospel According to Psalms.”
“I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.” (Psalms 16:8-9).
On what (or whom) do you focus your attention most? Do you focus on trials, bills, the fact that you failed yet again to keep a promise? Do you focus on those extra inches around your midsection? How about the fact that some world governments seem to have lost their minds? I don’t know if you realize this or not, but whatever we place before our eyes, or deeper vision, as the case may be, controls our mindset; whether for good or for ill. Are you ready for the consequences or rewards related to your focus? It’s a lot to consider isn’t it?
King David had a way of turning and returning his focus Godward. He did not always have an easy life. He had his share of bumps, bruises, and much worse, yet he found a way, through the Spirit, to set our Creator as his focal point in life. When he was young and Goliath terrorized God’s people, he focused on God and defended His honor among the heathen, and God’s fearful people. When king Saul allowed envy to inflame him toward David, which fueled a love/hate/dysfunctional relationship between them, God was ever before David. When he ran from the reality of his terrible bout of covetousness, adultery, conspiracy, and murder, God sent the prophet to retool his focus, and he got back on track with deep repentance. You get the point, I hope. Despite the terrible difficulties that seemed to follow David at times, since he was a man in pursuit of the heart of God, he became an immovable pillar in Zion. He became the standard of all holy kings, because God was his focus and at the right hand of approval in his life. Therefore, he could be glad, no matter what. Even when death approached, he, like the Messiah, could be hopeful and confident that he was doing the will of the Father. He could die in peace, because he lived at peace with God.
Is this your reality. On what (or whom) do you focus your attention most? I hope, after today, it is always the Lord. If so, you will not be moved. He will keep you steady and composed under pressure until Messiah returns.
This has been the gospel according to Psalms. Live by it!—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
