fixed eyes

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Isaiah 26:3 NLT

I remember being told, when learning to ride a motorbike, 'do not fix your eyes on the trees or you will hit them.' This is the same in all of life. What we fix our eyes on, good or bad, we will achieve.Some think by watching the mark they wish to avoid, they will miss it, not so, they will hit it.

Many things scream for our attention.  Anxieties trouble us, stomp and shriek.  However, centering ourselves on Jesus gets us through.  He is steadfast, He is the rock. 

Jesus gave us the communion celebration as a means of reminding us of His sacrifice, His redemption, He faced the worst for us. His word teaches us, He is steadfast and good, He is our anchor. Amen!
