Romans 8:5 ESV "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit."As my mind began to wander, so did the drill bit! Today's verse speaks of where our focus is, whether on the flesh or the Spirit and thereby living according to which we focus on. No sooner did I focus back on drilling the hole, did I realize I was in the wrong place! I needed to make the hole in one location but my lack of focus, lack of concentration had caused my mistake and there by ruining the piece of wood. I had to purchase another piece and this time I made sure I was focused on what I was doing. In life, we will have times when our focus seems to drift from what we should be looking at, doing, acting upon and that can lead us into trouble and even into sin. Many of our mistakes, our sin can be traced back to a lack of focus! Let's keep our focus on where the Spirit leads us and not where the flesh draws us to. This way the holes we drill can be truly "holy" and not randomly in the wrong the place! peace, tom
