Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name. Psalm 86:11

It’s been interesting to watch the Olympics in Beijing this last week. These athletes are focused. They know what their goal is: a medal, and preferably a gold one. They train for hours, days, weeks, and even years to fine tune their focus and their skill. They desperately want to win and many will stop at nothing to win.

Isn’t that a vivid picture of how we’re to live our lives as Christians? One goal. Focused. Targeted. An undivided heart.

Many things can detract us, can’t they? Jobs, family, money, homes, the good life.

An old preacher used to say (and it was quoted by Steven Covey), “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” Think about it. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. So perhaps a different question should be asked, “what is the main thing?” It will be different to different people, even to other Believers. So…

What is the main thing to you?
