Staying Focused on God in a
World of Distractions

Paul reintroduces us to this quality we have already seen in older men (reverence is the second quality listed in v. 2).

All men, whether older or younger, are called to have this kind of singular focus upon a godly, reverent lifestyle. This word “reverence” in word studies that have been published variously describes a man with “seriousness about life, a dignified lifestyle, and a goal of pursuing whatever honors God.”

Reverence doesn’t mean never laughing, showing humor, or enjoying life—rather, it means that because God is your focus, you check in first with Him to be sure that the laughter, humor, and enjoyment are pleasing to Him.

This grace-prompted reverence leads men to constantly choose to avoid the trivial distractions that can consume days, weeks, and months of our lives and, instead, to focus on the pursuit of the eternal.

A focused life is what each of us should desire to give to God today.

• Focus light, and you get a laser burst.
• Focus water, and you get some commercial cutting applications.
• Focus atoms, and you get some momentary atomic power.
• Focus on money, and you will get a passing fortune like a Rockefeller, Gates, or Buffet.

But—focus your life on Jesus Christ and you get an eternal reward, and endless delights.
