Focus on the Target

Years ago, I used to train with one of our church members, Shannon Elkins, who’s a fitness guru.

During our sessions, Shannon would have me balance on one foot.

At first, I couldn’t do it. I leaned with it. I rocked with it. I wobbled like a bobblehead.

Every few seconds, I’d have to put my foot down.

So she told me, “It’ll help if you find a target on the wall and focus on it.”

For me, the power outlet was the target.

It was simply a stable target.

And when I focused on the target, I could stand. I was straight. I was steady.In this life, God is your Target. When you focus on the Target, you can stand.
