(This might be 2.5 minutes well spent.)

The POWER of FOCUS...
Focus a light ray and ignite a fire.
Focus a laser beam and cut steel.
Focus a water stream and erode stone.
Focus air and destroy structures.
Focus a mind and shatter ignorance.
Focus a skill and set a record
Focus a talent and attain to fame.
Focus a resolve and break the chain.
Focus a soul and encounter God.

Spiritual Focus is an unused power for most Christians today.
Focus on Frivolity and Worldliness has robbed their spiritual coffers.

We need...
Focus on Prayer.
Focus on Submission.
Focus on Study.
Focus on Fellowship.
Focus on Faith.
Focus on Service.
Focus on Giving.
Focus on God.
Focus on Others.
Focus on Witnessing.
Focus on Following Jesus.

Just 1 more minute to go.
A little meditation on the following passage might add a great amount to your understanding and your walk with Christ today.

Philippians 3:13-21
(13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended (attained glorification): but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
(14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
(15) Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
(16) Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
(17) Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
(20) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(21) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
