SINGLENESS OF PURPOSE

“Let your eyes look straight ahead and your gaze be focused forward.  Survey the path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure.”
Proverbs 4:25-27

Singleness of purpose and right conduct proceed from the heart of the wise as from the source of life.  This was the footnote to the above verse.  It seems to be a description of Jesus as he walked on this earth.  He was always aware of who he was and what he was sent to do; that one thing he spoke of Mary choosing.  It sounds so simple, but is it; especially in today’s world?

Lost in the raging sea of information
Drowning in the abundance of words and teachings
Is it any wonder that the world suffers
From Attention Deficit Disorder
Too much, too many
Moment by moment “supersizing” our minds
Filling them to capacity with every new thought or idea
Wave after wave they come
Opinions, facts, truths, lies, all words
That flood and fill the air waves
That continually surrounds us
We are filling every empty space with noise
Leaving us filled but not nourished nor satisfied.

Query
Is it possible that too much of a good thing
can be just as detrimental as not having anything?
