Hello ,
William H. Hinson tells us why animal trainers carry a stool when they go into a cage of lions. They have their whips, of course, and their pistols are at their sides. But invariably they also carry a stool. Hinson says it is the most important tool of the trainer. He holds the stool by the back and thrusts the legs toward the face of the wild animal.
Those who know maintain that the animal tries to focus on all four legs at once. In the attempt to focus on all four, a kind of paralysis overwhelms the animal, and it becomes tame, weak, and disabled because its attention is fragmented.
Can the same be true in our lives when we have so many things to focus on, and varied issues that take our attention? If I'm honest with myself, it's probably more accurate than I could have ever imagined.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33
What would happen today if God, and God's kingdom were the focus of my attention? How would that change the interaction that I have with others, and what would my schedule look like if He was at the very center of it all?
Have a great day and God bless!
