The theme for the summer this year is ‘FOCUS’. The verse we used to challenge the staff, and back this theme up, is found in Galatians 6:9, and reads:
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Working for the summer at Teen Ranch, is an awesome opportunity to do ‘good’ for people, and to simply talk to them about God. However, we find that time and time again, things come up that take our focus away from doing these ‘good’ things.
Jesus gives us an awesome illustration in Luke 9 of what focus looks like. Jesus had asked several people to follow him, and they all replied with “yes, but first let us go and take care of some things first, ” and Jesus’ reply was, “No-one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
What a great challenge to fix our eyes ahead and ‘FOCUS’ on what God calls us to do. He will help us do this when we ask Him. |
