Focus on the essentials of life ... the after life (1 Timothy 4-6)

Paul tells young Pastor Timothy to not get caught up in the false doctrines and false focus of the day (chapter 4). He tells him while others may be focused on their physical bodies (both in pleasing it and in profiting it ... 4:8-10) that he should focus on the spiritual aspect of body development. He states at the end of chapter four that Timothy is not to "neglect" spiritual development (vs. 14); to take "pains" with spiritual development; to be "absorbed" in spiritual development; and to "pay close attention" to spiritual development. Here you have a man of God being told by another man of God to spend as much time as possible with God. There is to be no relaxation when it comes to God. We are to passively go through this life without focusing on life ... the after life part of this life. We get so engrossed in the media world of television and shows that we fail to realize our main focus is to be on the development of our spiritual life. We are to foster it and protect it and to further it. We can use all these things as tools to further it but we have to careful we don't use things as the focus. Paul tells us that the end of being focused on spiritual things is our salvation and that of others around us (4:16). Does your focus in life reflect a growing desire to care of the physical body or the spiritual body?
