Snap a photo with your phone, and the camera inside will take an acceptable picture.
You’ll occasionally get a good one, while from time to time you can expect to delete your image and retry the shot.
Some of the most interesting snaps you can take are when you move the phone right up next to something small and force the lens to choose the center of focus.
See, it can’t focus on everything. It’s impossible. The object is too close. Something will be out of focus, and that’s what makes the picture extraordinary.
The item in focus will jump out of the image, impossibly beautiful, and people will ooh and ahh over your skills.
2 Chronicles 15:2 gives us a marker for our focus.
“… The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.”
What is your life lens focused on? From a distance, the picture might look pretty good, but just like with your phone, when we get close, only one thing will remain sharp and clear. What’s important to us will jump out, and everything else will be out of focus.
Is your focus God or time spent at the lake?
Your family or your business associates?
Your church or a new investment opportunity?
Anyone who looks closely enough will be able to tell. You can’t hide it.
A brilliant photographer puts the most important things in the center of his shot.
We are brilliant when we put God in the center of our lives.
Get close to God, and everything else will fade into the background.
