Don't lose your focus!

Event: Stephen's Speech to the Sanhedrin

S - Scripture
Acts 7 v. 40 Saying to Aaron, "Make for us gods to go before us, as for this Moses who lead us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what became of him."

O - Observation
Don't lose your focus. Stephen is telling the account of the Israelites when they had just witnessed amazing powers of God, (Plagues, parting of the red sea, pillars of fire), how they lost focus in the short time that Moses was up getting the ten commandments. While he was gone they created another God to worship. But God was still present, even though he wasn't visually seen, or their leader was not around. How true is it for us today. It certainly seems like God is nowhere to be found sometimes. We're a 1 hour Christian, focused at church, but lose focus the rest of the week, when we are left to our own. Realize this, just as the Israelites did, God is definitely around.

A - Application
Do I lose my focus?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be continually focused on you.  Love Will
