Anyone who has ever driven a car or ridden a bike has made the mistake of looking at something other than the road (such as the ditch) and found the car/bike move toward the ditch. In performance driving, there is a simple rule of thumb ... "The hands follow the eyes. The car follows the hands. Make sure the eyes are looking in the right spot." Ask Peter, who was walking on water when he was looking at Jesus but started to sink when he looked at the water. When we find ourselves going somewhere that we don't want to go, we need to check ourselves and make sure we are looking in the right place.
Lord, help me to keep my eyes on You.
