Whatever Gets Your Attention, Gets You

Did you catch that title? “Whatever gets your attention, gets you.” It’s a simple statement, yet it carries profound truth.

Every January, many of us set lofty goals for the year ahead. The fresh start brings focus and determination. But as February rolls around and distractions creep in, we often shift our attention away from those goals. The problem isn’t always ambition—it’s our ability to stay focused.

Distractions are one of life’s greatest enemies.

Take a moment to think about Peter in the Bible. While walking on water toward Jesus, Peter was doing the impossible. His focus on Jesus empowered him. But the moment he let the winds and waves distract him, his focus faltered, and he began to sink.

So, here’s a question for you: What winds and waves are trying to steal your focus today?

Let’s pause and reflect on this verse:
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

TODAY is the day.

Don’t let life’s storms—whether they’re winds, waves, or even snow (lol)—rob you of your focus, your purpose, or your joy. Remember, whatever gets your attention, gets you.

If you allow subtle distractions to draw your attention away from your goals and purpose, you’ll struggle to achieve what God has planned for you. But if you stay focused on Him—on His guidance and the work He’s called you to do—you’ll find strength and clarity.

Even when you stumble (and we all do), know this: Jesus is there. Just as He reached out to Peter, He will catch you and help you get back on track.

So, as you step into today, choose to focus on what truly matters. You are not alone, and with God’s help, you can rise above distractions and walk confidently toward your purpose.
