We know that if someone is focused on God and his word he will undergo a transformation in his life. There are many examples of such transformations. Can we also experience that transformation? One needs to learn how to focus on God. In Ps: 16:8 we read, ‘I keep the Lord always before me’. A closer look into this verse reveals three points.
- ‘I keep the Lord’. I need to make a serious personal effort if I aspire to live in a daily experience of God. The Lord does not force his way in.
- ‘Keep the Lord always before me’. My union with God should not be limited to the time allotted for prayer. I need to be frequently thinking of God, praising and thanking him even as we carry out our daily tasks. In short, I need to have a constant communion with the Lord.
- ‘Lord always before me’. Keeping the Lord before me would mean that the Lord and his will take priority in my life. Hence, if I keep the Lord always before me other passions and pleasures will have no control over my life.
So if we begin to focus on God as Ps: 16:8 says, we can achieve a communion with the Lord which will fill us with deep joy and satisfaction.

In our godless world it is still a pity that so many who call themselves Christian do not really follow the teachings of the Christ and still make him in to their god, instead of focussing on the God of Jesus. Coming closer to the end-times we can only hope the preaching of the coming Kingdom of god shall increase and that more people shall come to show that Jesus is the way to God (and not God himself) so that more people shall come to focus on the real and Only One True God, the god of Israel.

It is the richness of this world we do not have to agree on all points.
Though we do hope and pray, you shall come to see that Jesus is the way to God, the sent one form God and the authorised one from God, who now is the high-priest for God, sitting at the right hand of God and not on God’s Throne, to be a mediator between God and man.
