Out of Focus

"Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other."
Isaiah 45:22

Here's an excerpt from Spurgeon's biography – the preach that brought about Spurgeon's conversion:

"It says 'look'. Now lookin' don't take a deal of pain. It ain't liftin' your foot or your finger; it's just 'look'. Well a man needn't go to college to learn to look. You may be the biggest fool, and yet you can look. A man needn't be worth a thousand a year to look. Anyone can look; even a child can look... look to Christ. The text says 'look unto Me'."

One of the things that occurred to me when reading this is that you can only look at one thing at a time. Everything else has to move out of focus and out of view. To look to God means you have to stop looking at yourself, and all your little idols.
