Week 2 – Focus 

Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no prophetic vision the  people cast off restraint, but blessed 
is he who keeps the law.

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy 
laden, and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, 
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, 
and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Key Point: Our focus becomes our reality. 

Matthew 6:31-33
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ 
or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after 
all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But 
seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things 
will be given to you as well.   

“We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and 
ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to 
go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant 
by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”    
  - C.S. Lewis. The Weight of Glory

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Matthew 25:14-30
He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I 
knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering 
where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent 
in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, 
‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not 
sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have 
invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 
So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
