Each of these moments points us toward focus. What is the “one thing” in your life right now? Is it following Jesus more closely, dwelling in His presence, being attentive to His Word, or letting go of the past to press forward?

If we are honest, there is most likely one thing we can do better. The challenge is to identify it and begin today.
