Keep Your Eyes on Jesus and Move Forward

Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze straight ahead.
Make a level path for your feet,
and all your ways will be sure.

SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 4:25–26

Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze straight ahead.
Make a level path for your feet,
and all your ways will be sure.

Today’s Morning Word

Good morning 🌅

This morning’s word from Scripture…📖

Proverbs 4:25–26.
…
“Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze straight ahead.
Make a level path for your feet,
and all your ways will be sure.”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
I drive a car🚙 almost every day.
…
When we drive🚙, we keep our eyes firmly on the road ahead🧐
as we go❗️
But…
if we become distracted by the car behind us and keep looking in the rearview mirror…
we are bound to have an accident…😵
…
Life is the same.
In life, we must keep looking forward❗️
There are times when we look back on the past…
But…
if we keep dwelling on the past…😨
it becomes hard for our lives to blossom🌷.
…
The Bible tells us to look straight ahead❗️
and to pay attention to the path we walk.
…
To look ahead…🤔
For me, it means not taking our eyes off Jesus Christ❗️
…
The path we walk…🤔

John 14:6.
…
Jesus answered him:
“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
…
When we take our eyes off the Lord, our path becomes uncertain.

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus
and walk straight ahead❗️

Shalom 😄
