What Percentage Focus, between Problems and Our God?

There is a YouTube video, that I think is superb, but painful to watch.
It’s a joining of two songs, that speaks a truth, that can sometimes be difficult to reconcile.

The YouTube video in question is,
“God only knows” with “Awesome God” Vocal Motion Show Choir

If you watch it, you will see a video that shows that Our God IS an Awesome God, who reigns with Wisdom, Power and Love.
But at the same time, we can have unseen problems, that can be difficult to bear. (From the lyrics of “God only knows.”)
The the young people, holding up boards with problems written on them, has a visual power, that just brings a something extra to it, all of its own.

As I watch it, I feel that I need to give a Greater attention to the “Our God, is an Awesome God” lyrics, in order to not be unbalanced, by the video.

To me, it is a picture of how life can be.
We can Know that Our God is Awesome and All Powerful and have everything under His control, all at the same time as we are struggling with unseen problems, that we feel could be more than we are able to bear.

This takes me back to the idea of this week’s post title.
How much of our focus do we give to our difficulties, and how much do we give to Our Lord God, who Has the answers.

In times of trouble, are we able to lift our eyes, when our world maybe falling apart?
Instead of giving 100% of our attention to our problems, could we aim for a more healthy 50-50 split?
Could we even increase the percentage in favour of Our God?
60-40?
Or 70-30?
Or even up to 90-10?
I’m stopping short of suggesting 100% focus on God, as if we do have real problems, then we don’t want to go and bury our heads in the sand. That’s just denial of the problem.
(Although, for a time, 100% focus on God could be good, such as a in a worship meeting.)

In good times, are we building good practices into our lives, that we can fall back onto, when trouble comes along?
What we do when times are good, also matters. When Paul and Silas were singing in the prison, I think that I’m on safe ground to say that it wasn’t the first time that they had spent, worshipping God. (Acts 16:25-30)
Could we do likewise, and always be seeking and praising Our Lord God Almighty?

In finishing this post, I’m going to bring the focus back onto Our Lord God, by quoting some of the words, from one of the songs, in the video, that is mentioned, in this post.

Our God, is an Awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above.
With Wisdom, Power and Love.
Our God is an Awesome God.
