  Focus

  Systematically, I try to review my life in line with my Biblical Core Values to make sure I am still on target. But about every 5 years I fine myself at a place of evaluation of my focus. One of my problems is that I love what I am doing and I love doing everything. But when these inventory assessment periods arrive, I have to stop, step back and ask myself some hard questions.
  
  Questions like; what am I doing that someone else can do? What am I doing that I need to stop doing? What am I missing that needs to be added? What activities and ministries will have the greatest impact for the cause of Christ? What am I doing to facilitate those God has placed under my supervision? In short, it is a dismantling of all that I do, a time of inspection and critique.
  
  Life is too short and mine is getting shorter to spend our few days doing good things that are not the best things. The Apostle Paul referred to this in 1 Corinthians 9:26 when he says, "thus I fight: not as one who beats the air." I think he is saying,I want to make every blow count! And so do I, so as much as I have a distaste for these times of review, they are necessary...no they are critical.
