Instead of using exercises to develop concentration, concentrate on what you are doing at any time. That is the best exercise I know.
I remember when I was a boy about twelve years old somebody gave me a perfect peach of a jackknife. It probably weighed a quarter of a pound and there was a little saw in it, a little screwdriver, a corkscrew, a thing for getting stones out of horses’ hoofs, and several blades. I carried it for about a year thinking how handy it would be for certain cases that never came up, but it never lost its interest. I could always find, when I was bored, new interest when I took out the jackknife. If you make your search for God your jackknife in that sense, you will get you concentration and you will get your success.
Thus will I bless thee while I live … and meditate on thee in the night watches
(Psalm 63: 4, 6).
Looking for all the ways God is manifest in your world, will lead you to see God everywhere in your world. This is the Eden that God created for us. God is in every fiber, stalk and flower therein. And when we concentrate on God’s presence in any situation, his presence will manifest itself there and then for his children.
Focused on God,
