Where is your focus this week?

"We spend the majority of time in the temporal, but we'll spend the majority of time in the eternal". This was the theme of Monday's Prime. But, practically how can we do that when life around us is so complicated and busy? Our focus has to be here on the day to day.

Think of it more as "while you are going". You can practice the eternal by:
1. Setting your mind on things above (Col. 3:1-4)
2. Become daily in experience what we are in our position in Christ (Rom 6)
3. Take a journey to the eternal through the portal of the Word (John 1:1-5, 14-18)

What about this?
1. Find joy in everything, give thanks as you go.
2. Love life, live it to the full for a purpose greater than your own (the kingdom)
3. Pray as you are going in your spirit, stay connected to your Father in Heaven.
4. Ask God to help you continually make wise decisions and to avoid evil

These are just a few practical ways to practice the eternal. Remember, you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (James 4:14b), BUT you are SO valued by God. Make your life count. Be a light. Invite someone to Prime with you this week that you would not normally invite. You never know what God may do in their life. It could make an eternal difference and it will give you a whole new perspective!
