Self-Focus or Self-Awareness?

MELISSA–I want to mention one piece that is absolute necessity in the year to come. That piece is self-awareness. This may sound like a simple thing you would think comes naturally, but that is not so. We have become so self-focused that we tend to confuse the two. They are not the same. Self-focus is the Band-Aid that falls off with every raging flood. Self-awareness connects the dots, and raises a standard against the flood (Isa. 59:19). Let’s look at the literal definitions of the two words. Awareness means “informed, alert, knowledgeable, sophisticated”. Focus means “a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity”. As a geological term, focus means the point of origin of an earthquake. Focus is narrow, where as awareness is broad. I particularly love how focus is the point of origin of an earthquake. Well, if that doesn’t just say it! Self-focus leads to personal earthquakes, and self awareness keeps us from them.
