Lenten Devotion - Focus
Tiger Woods is known for winning golf tournaments - lots of them. Those who watch him with rapt attention notice that Tiger is also known for being able to focus. When he crouches to examine his putt, he has a stare - a focused stare - that is almost eerie. Golf announcers say that they've never seen anything like it.
We could call it "Spiritual ADD" - the seeming inability of people of faith to actually focus their faith on God. We talk about God, we sing songs of praise about God, but we have the hardest time focusing our attention on God.
Devotion requires focus. You can't be devoted to something that you are'nt focused on. That's true in our jobs, our recreational pursuits, our relationships. It is certainly true of our relationship with God. Devotion to God requires focus.
I am trying to focus during these days on God. It isn't easy.
