Keeping Focus

I’ve been reading through Matthew recently.  One thing that is impressive about Jesus is that He never lost focus on His purpose.  He came for the purpose of going to the cross, and He kept that focus.  So often organizations and individuals lose their focus on their purpose.  We can get distracted by doing good things that have no connection to the overarching objective that we want to accomplish.  As I read those chapters from Matthew, I asked, “Am I focused on God’s purpose for me?  Is the team I work with focused on its purpose?”  I think that those are healthy questions that I need to ask often.
