AUGUST 8 – FOCUS

08/08          Jude 1:10-13

But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction. 11 What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion.  12 When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots. 13 They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness. 

FOCUS

Focus your life on Jesus.  Teach what Christ taught.  Learn what Jesus calls us to learn.  Do no focus on some novel teacher but instead on the Lord Jesus Christ.  He will teach you.  He will lead you.  He is worthy of all of your honor and glory.  No one else but Jesus.
