Beatitude 6.1
We live in a highly distracted world. A ping draws us to look at our phone, not listen to our family member or friend. Visual images scroll rapidly drawing us to look at a screen, not a calming sunset or the gentle hypnosis of waves rolling on the shore. Distractions make us double minded. We lose focus.
Jesus says in. Matthew 5:8 ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. To be pure in heart is to be single minded. Paul shows us how. ‘Philippians 3:13, 14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
