- Jesus urges single-mindedness! The teaching here involves simplicity of intention in living one's life. In light of verse Matthew 6:33, verse 24 shows we must focus our attention on our highest priority.

Single-mindedness is the pursuit of your goals to the exclusion of all else. Some definitions say “to the detriment” of everything else. Is this what God means when He asks us to be single-minded? Why does God want that level of single-minded determination from His people?

If you are someone who gets totally focused on one thing to the exclusion of all else you may wonder if single-mindedness is bad. My answer to you is that it depends on how you use it.

(8) The eighth verse had better be joined with the seventh, and punctuated thus:--Let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord:--double minded, unstable in all his ways. The reason why he can obtain nothing is because he is a man of two minds, and by consequence uncertain in his ways.
