"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus"!!! What a needed word this is in these days. We get distracted by so many things and lose sight of Jesus in our daily life.
Harried and stressed souls will find peace as they look upon Jesus. Weak and tried souls will find strength as they look upon Jesus. Confused and misdirected souls will find wisdom as they look on Jesus. Sinful and guilt-stricken souls will find cleansing when they look on Jesus. (You write the next line).
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full int His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace" (from "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" by Helen Lemmel).
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the Savior who endured the cross for our sake. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the exalted Lord now enthroned above all in the heavens. Fix your eyes on Jesus in Scripture. Fix your eyes upon Jesus in prayer. Fix your eyes upon Jesus in silent meditation. Fix your eyes on Jesus!
Lord Jesus, help me now to fix my eyes on You today. You are my wonderful Savior and almighty Lord. Let my vision of You grow until nothing can distract me from You.
I'm praying for you.

Good Morning Pastor Mark,
ReplyDeleteMy next line would be, " I see myself in all of the above and I must fix my eyes on Jesus". Looking at the events of today from a Biblical worldview I can't help but be fearful and mournful and the direction our world is going. Even though I know God's word prophesied that these events would happen before the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ it does cause me to be fearful for my children and grandchildren future. So thank you for reminding me that we must fix our eyes on the one that endured the cross for our victory. I must do the same so I won't give up. God bless you and all our Brothers and Sisters in Christ all over the world.
