The Words Just Jumped Right Off The Page!!
This morning during my devotion time – a phrase that i’ve read hundreds of times seemed to jump right off the page. Hebrews 12:2 says “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,…” It doesn’t just say “look at Jesus” or “look to Jesus” but rather FIX OUR EYES on Jesus!!! Sometimes we get our eyes focused on the wrong things. Sometimes I lose my focus – when I am called to keep my eyes FIXED on JESUS!! When I am “FIXED” on Jesus things in my world look much different than when I am fixed on ME. When I am FIXED on JESUS nothing that comes my way will totally disrupt my life. When the winds and waves of life come my way I can trust that Jesus is still in control. Notice that the verse encourages us to DO SOMETHING: LET US – FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS. That tells me that it’s a choice. Every day I need to make the choice to FIX MY EYES on Jesus – not people, not the government, not the economy – ON JESUS!! When I am FIXED on JESUS – nothing can shake my faith, cause me to quit or keep me down! AMEN!!! GLORY!!!!! Whew – I am ’bout to preach myself into a shouting fit! LOL – Anyways – thought I would share that little blessing I found this morning with all of you who read the blog. KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON JESUS TODAY! Pastor James

that’s such a good word for all of us. it’s when our eyes are fixed on Him that we can have a total change of perspective without our circumstances moving and inch. thank you for sharing that with us. and thank you for having us at your church a couple of weeks ago. i’ll have to admit that it was outside of our comfort zone, but in a good way.
Father i ask that You continue to make Your vision known to pastor james and Your congregation one step at a time. we thank You for what You’ve done already and what You have planned for the future. we ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. amen
