Man was created with two eyes, so that with one he may see God's greatness, and with the other his own lowliness. -Samuel Y. Agnon
Philippians 3:14, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
During the holidays, many of us focus in on the wrong things. We focus on the past memories or long-gone experiences that many times leave us questioning our past choices. We cannot live in the past and we cannot change the past so why attempt to live there? Why not take those experiences and memories and learn from them?
Child of God, we should trust the Lord was directing us in the past. He was directing us to salvation, sanctification, and even into somewhere to serve the Lord. What we should focus on is the things we can change, our finish and future! Paul gave us the pattern to follow and focus on in Hebrews 12:1-2: “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Confessing of sin, growth in the Lord, and KEEPING OUR EYES ON JESUS!
