“Let your eyes look forward; fix your gaze straight ahead.” Proverbs 4:25
In a previous life I was a certified high ropes course instructor. One of the best elements on the course was a 30 foot long log suspended high up in-between two trees and on the far tree was carved a cross. We will instruct the participants to "stare at the cross and you won't fall". Obviously, they would not follow our advice and they would look at the log or the ground several dozen feet below or at me or they would close their eyes and cry. Once they looked at the cross on the tree, they would cruise straight across the log with no problem. Lesson: Fix your eyes on the Cross and you cruise through your challenges and won't fall.
Lord, help me to not be distracted by the distractions that keep my eyes from being fixed on You.
