LIFE IS LIKE A CAMERA

You know why God wants us to focus? Because Life really is like a camera; it is all about focus. Life is more about choice in every step which we make. Our choice leads us to focus on the positive or the negative issues; as a human being we know that life is short.

The bible reminds us that however we see and do we are advised to  Focus on what the bible teaches us to  control especially good things  which add  positive value to our lives; Good things will increase our good memories and positive experiences.  Focus on what is important is what bible wants  to apply when we use our camera.

As the book of James 3:13-18 tells us that who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.  But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

The question is that why God wants us to focus because He is focused on us too.  As Psalm 139 1-3 “You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and You know all about me.  You know when I am resting or when I am working”

How God is always focusing on us? It is through his attention on us.  Attention is an incredible expression of love from God. We are so blessed because God’s attention is constantly with us. 

Focus as we know it is one of the most difficult issues in taking a picture when you use a camera. The focus needs concentration and commitment and it is so easy when we take bad picture the answer is the focus was not quite correct. As the bible says Colossians 3:2    Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Psalm 1:1. Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners,     nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord,     and on his law he meditates day and night.

Our minds tell us what we think, our wills tell us what we want, and our emotions tell us how we feel. The Bible refers to our minds, wills, and emotions

1 Corinthians 15:51-53, but we must wage a daily battle against our "flesh nature." For example, how often do we say or hear things like, "I know I shouldn't say this, BUT" or "I know I shouldn't do this, BUT" or "I know I probably shouldn't eat this, but I'm going to eat it anyway"? Our "flesh nature" pushes us to do what it wants to do, and we often obey our "flesh" even when we know better!

Focus reminds us that we should not run our life based on what someone's opinions. In our fast-paced world, it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of our true purpose in life

                 Wow out of focus

As Romans 12:1 tells us that: "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?" 

Luke 9:23: "Then he said to the crowd, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.'’

Romans 6:13: "Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God."

Therefore the best way to stay focused as we take our pictures is to commit our self to our creator.
