Who are you inviting to the Amplify event this Wednesday?
Can I have your attention please
Attention influences direction. Direction determines destination.
Why is what has our attention so important?
Psalms 119:35,37
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
- What are the worthless things that we need to turn our eyes and our attention away from?
- What are the things that capture your attention that will only lead you down paths you don’t want to go?
- Do you think there is anything in your life that you allow to take too much of your time?
Provebs 4:25,27
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
- Share a time when you got really focused on a goal and achieved it.
- In what situations are you the most tempted to swerve to the left or the right?
- How can you be proactive and keep your eyes straight ahead?
Setting a Path
When you think 5 to 10 years down the road, what are some of your goals/dreams? (Be specific). Where do you want to be when it comes to faith, friends, family, career/school?
- As a group, talk about things you will have to pay attention to now if you want to someday see those dreams come true.
- What will paying attention to those things cost you?
- What will be the big things that distract you and grab your attention away from your goals?
