This One Thing I Do!

As I prepare for the Mother's Day biography on the life of Lilias Trotter, I am became more and more enthralled with the profundity of this woman of God.  She lived in a day devoid of television, radio, iPods, iPhones, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on.  Multitasking is a great management style but it's a horrible lifestyle.  For the Christian we need to be focused.

"Never has it been so easy to live in half a dozen harmless worlds at once -- art, music, social science, games, motoring, the following of some profession, and so on. And between them we run the risk of drifting about, the good hiding the best." It is easy to find out whether our lives are focused, and if so, where the focus lies. Where do our thoughts settle when consciousness comes back in the morning? Where do they swing back when the pressure is off during the day? Dare to have it out with God, and ask Him to show you whether or not all is focused on Christ and His Glory. Turn your soul's vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him." [1] [Emphasis mine]

Is there a "one thing I do" (Psalm27:4; Philippians 3:13) kind of focus in my life?  In yours? 

"If only one had twenty lives! But I suppose that to have the power of God concentrated on the one that we have would be better still!"  - Lilias Trotter
