Good morning~ Yes! another day to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus~ Joy is the reason Jesus endured the cross. “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.” Hebrews 12:2 perspective....... how important it is to look at things from the correct point of view. If the perspective in a picture is not as it should be the whole picture is affected and looks out of balance and awkward. That is often the case in life. We tend to look at things from the wrong perspective and consequently see the whole picture from the wrong angle, and in the wrong light. We can so easily be concerned with our own issues, problems and concerns that we miss out on what God really wants us to see and enjoy. He wants us to look to Him first and learn to look at things as He sees them, from His perspective.As the song says ‘Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in his wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of his glory and grace’......... It doesnt say the things of earth (the problems of life) will disappear......... but that they will be seen in a different light ~ from a different perspective.To be a follower of Jesus, we have to keep ourselves from becoming discouraged by the problems of this world, and by all the sin around us that constantly tries to entangle us and trip us up in our Christian walk. We must keep focused.....in our spirit~ on Jesus because He is the source of our faith. He endured the opposition and hatred that put Him on the cross, for the joy that was waiting for Him in heaven. When we compare His suffering to our trials, ours will not seem too heavy to bear, knowing we will experience the same joy in heaven with Him. Can you believe it? Hope everyone has a focused day. Leaving you with a song today instead of a pic~
