Where's my focus?

My mind sometimes jumps around like a pinball machine, never settling on any one thing for too long.

I am out of sorts today.  It may have to do with the lack of power this morning; my morning routine was out of sync as I got ready for church.  My hair wasn't cooperating, but that doesn't bother me too much - I'm not too vain - in fact, I'm probably a little TOO laid back in that department...it probably had more to do with NO COFFEE...

Anyway, the more I study God's Word, the more I am convinced that I really have no concept of His majesty and holiness...the words "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords" are tossed too lightly from my lips...Yes, he's my friend, but first of all, he's my KING....but does my LIFE reflect that??

I focus on the petty things...I let the actions of others bother me...and yet, I am forever telling others to show grace...we all grow at different rates in our spiritual life...God teaches us as we surrender to him and are able to hear...how can I therefore be frustrated with a fellow believer who does not display the spiritual maturity I would expect from them?  It ought to break my heart, not cause me frustration!

My frustration only points out my own lack of spiritual maturity.  :(

Oh, that I would cultivate a devotion to God in my own life, that I might grow to understand who he REALLY is and who I really am in light of who He is...I am convinced this is the key to living a godly christian life....

My thoughts are still bouncing....
