GENERAL

Do you ever feel like you're pulled in a million different directions? There's work, family, friends, social obligations...it can be tough to juggle it all. And often times, we can lose sight of what's truly important. Jesus invites us to have a singular eye in Matthew 6:22 so that our bodies may be full of light. In other words, He wants us to be focused on Him and His purpose for our lives. When we have this focus, everything else falls into place. It's not always easy to stay focused though. We live in a world that is constantly trying to distract us from what's truly important. But if we stick to our purpose like a stamp on an envelope, eventually we'll get where we're meant to go. If you're seeking clarity in your life, build a relationship with Christ through prayer, Bible study, and other spiritual disciplines. He will give you the wisdom and guidance you need to live a purposeful life.

As we continue our journey through life, it's important to remember that while earthly accomplishments may bring us short-term recognition and fame, they will ultimately be forgotten. The only thing that will last forever is our legacy in eternity, which is determined by our faithfulness to God and righteousness. This is the lesson we can learn from the "men of the name" in Genesis 6:4, who are remembered for their evil deeds rather than anything good they may have done. While it's understandable to look up to modern-day giants like Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Drake, Taylor Swift, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and many others as examples of success, we must remember that what really matters is not this world's recognition, but God's approval. Let us strive to be like Seth and his righteous lineage, who are remembered by God for their faithfulness to Him. As we do this, may we also be remembered for His name's sake. Amen.
