In 2026 I feel in my heart that focussing on the right things will be more important than ever for the follower of Jesus.
Today I want to share three things that we should focus on this year to help us keep on track. I want to give us three passages from the Bible that we can hold on to.
Focus on things that are right
Philippians 4:8 – And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Focus on heavenly things above
Colossians 3:1-2 – Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. [2] Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
Focus on Jesus who perfects our faith
Hebrews 12:1b-2 – Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. [2] We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
In an ever changing world with so much negative news on TV and social media, I think it is important to focus on the good things that God asks. The verses above tells us to focus on things that are worthy of praise.
It is just important for us to focus on the right things if we are to fulfil our God given purposes. Choosing to focus on noble things, on things of heaven, and on Jesus will help keep us on track.
