Have you ever gotten distracted while doing something? If you're like me, there are many times I can recall being distracted when I was trying to get something done. It takes intentional effort and focus to stay focused and clear on the task at hand.
I'll begin this episode by sharing an image that the Lord shared with me before I started recording this episode. I believe this image and what God shared about it will set the tone and direction of where we are headed this week.
In this episode I'll share two examples from the Old Testament about keeping our focus and life in God's kingdom. I believe these two examples will help us distinguish between the two kingdoms we've been talking about over the past few weeks. God makes it very clear throughout all scripture that He has established His kingdom, yet we know that it's not the type of kingdom that is always visible but is clearly revealed in scripture. There are values and principles to this kingdom, and if we trust in God's kingdom and operate out of it, our lives will bear fruit and you'll experience the presence of God in your day to day life in tangible ways.
