Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2
Keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, in the middle of hard times can be very difficult. When life seems to be peaceful, secure and going our way, we are able to stay focused on God a lot more.
But the moment it turns from peaceful to stressful, it’s difficult to stay sane some times.
How can we keep your eyes on Jesus through these hard times?
First thing we should do is to focus all of our attention on God.
He should become the center of our attention.
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:24
“So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.”
Deuteronomy 11:18
Your relationship with Christ is the most important part of your life, the most important thing. In Him, there is everything you will ever need to help you through hard seasons in life. Which we all encounter from time-to-time.
Taking our eyes off of Jesus is the most dangerous thing we could ever do. It’s like taking our eyes off the road. Even for one second, it could be fatal.
The disciples in the boat took their eyes off of Jesus and the began to panic.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus means we trust him. The minute we take our eyes off Him and look to our circumstances instead, that is the minute we begin to lose our faith and trust in Him.
Instead,
•We need to seek his face.
•We need to look to him for every need.
•We need to trust him to move in our lives.
Keep your eyes fixed on him. Gazing into his eyes and heart constantly.
The way to start is, through prayer, Bible study and fellowship.
Taking every need, hardship and pain to the King.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2
My prayer for you today is that you’d keep your eyes on God, only!
Many Blessings,
Connie
