Let us fix our eyes on Jesus... Heb. 12:2a

I heard a great sermon last Wednesday about the basic strategy behind our enemies attacks. No matter whether the attack comes from within our circle of friends or from outside or through the circumstances we find ourselves in, the goal of the attack is to get us to take our eyes off of Jesus.

I've been thinking this week about how often and how easily I take my eyes off Jesus. When I get frustrated with language study, when things don't go the way I think they should, when I am running behind and my bus doesn't come...etc, I often find I have taken my eyes off Jesus and have them on some other thing. It only takes a moment for my perspective to change. In fact, even when I am focusing on keeping my eyes on Jesus I am surprised to realize how often my eyes have somehow drifted to a situation instead.

Thank the Lord for his infinite patience with me! Just think of how amazing life could be if I really did "FIX" my eyes on Jesus, every moment of every day. This is my prayer.
