“Watch where you’re supposed to be going!”
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter (Finisher) of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning (despising) its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
“Watch where you’re supposed to be going!” It usually happens when we are looking somewhere besides where we should be looking. We will invariably walk or drive in the direction we are looking instead of where we should be going. Because we have been distracted! But the same thing is true of the way we live. We “live like where we look, where we see, and where we listen.” Wherever we are spending the most of our time that’s the way we will live also. If we spend our time with the world, with worldly people, in front of the “Boob Tube” (ever wonder why they nicknamed the TV that?) or other worldly media, then that’s the way we are going to live. If you spend your day watching soap operas then your life will be a soap opera lived out! Because what you feed on (sow) is what you will reap, because what you feed on the most is what gets into your heart. That’s why it’s important to fix our eyes and ears on Jesus! Forget or at least put aside this world and fix ourselves on Jesus, spend time with Him and His Word. Who He is, what He has done for us, and where He is taking us. When you understand that principle, it will change the course of your life.
Wonder Bread once had a slogan that said: “You are what you eat, from your head down to your feet!”
What are you feeding on the most, the world or the things of God? Don’t say: “Oh, it’s just a movie , it won’t hurt anything!” Wanna bet! Been there, done that! Wore the ‘Tee’ Shirt! It’s something sowed. Feed your kids Harry Potter stuff and they’ll turn out “New Age” , Wiccan or even worse. Feed them just Wonder Bread and not fruits and vegetables and they’ll be fat and diabetic! We must feed our spirit the things of God daily!
MY PRAYER…
Almighty and holy God, without Your grace and the gift of Your salvation, through Jesus, I could not approach You with confidence. Thank You for sending Jesus! Thank You for His life, His death, His burial, His resurrection, His exaltation and His intercession at Your right hand for me. I pledge this day to keep my eyes on Him! I pledge to live by Faith in Him and who He is. The report of a stranger I will not believe. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen
