Paper Like A Knife

Wednesday, June 10, 2020

A piece of paper is one of the weakest and most flimsy things in the world. But paper can be dangerous. You don't believe it? Have you ever been cut by a piece of paper? Have you ever had a paper cut? How can something so weak as a piece of paper cut you as if it were a knife? It's because the thin side of a paper focuses any force into the smallest of spaces. And when you focus on something, it increases the force. So a paper can actually become as strong as a knife. It's true of sheets of paper, and it's true for your life and walk with God. If you're all over the place, it's unlikely you'll accomplish great things or live a great life for God. But if you're focused, focused on Him, on His kingdom, on His purposes, then everything changes. Then the power you have gets multiplied. Paul was focused, and looked at what he did. So too, set out to become focused, single-minded, fixing your eyes on Messiah, and doing all things with one purpose. A focused life in God can cut through the greatest problems and even change the world.
