Merely Calculating

1214Genesis 4:7
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.

One day Charles Swindoll was invited by her friend, a lawyer who worked with Federal Resere Bank where stacks of currency is calculated and stored. Swindoll wrote his story that afternoon as following:
We walked in together and pass through the security check. We walked down a narrow hallway and pass through the security check again. We were highlighted by surveillance cameras along the way (CCTV). Behind a large room which was made of bulletproof glass, there were people who work calculating the money. There were lots of stacks of $ 100 bills that were still new and stack of paper money in 1000 dollars.
I asked him, "How can they survive behind the glass?" (Revealing something about my own low morals).
He said, "Everything is fine if they remember that their works are only counting sheets of paper. If they start concentrating on what is written on sheets of paper, it means that we have a problem."
As well as to life, if we have a wrong focus, then sins are already ahead. We should not focus on the pursuit of material, success or satisfaction. If we focus on God's purpose, then everything will go with it. We must keep our eyes directed to Christ and the truth, so we can avoid the trap of sin and fulfill the divine purpose in our lives.
What is God looking for? He is looking for men and women whose hearts are given to Him wholly.
