Don't lose focus

The scriptures talk a lot about the last days. In fact, they were written for the last days. The Isaiah prophesied "Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Paul later wrote "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good."

I think we can all see the effects of this in our life. The world is losing many of the values that it once had. These values have not only been lost, but they are under attack. With the tide of the world pushing heavily in the wrong direction, it is important for us to hold our heads high and be an example of the believers. We are here on earth to experience joy. This is done when we live a Christ centered life. The world around us will push us and pull us to draw our hearts away from what matters most. It will tempt us with whatever it can. As we recognize these temptations and continually refocus on what matters most, we will find true happiness amidst the tumult that we are engulfed in.
