One Hundred Percent

My eyes are ever toward the Lord.
Psalm 25:15

Hebrews 12:1-2



The nineteenth century humorist Josh Billings said cleverly, "Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there." As Christians, we can apply these witty words to our goal of living for Christ until the day He returns.

We are surrounded by distractions every day, and it can be easy to let them cloud our vision and take our focus off of Christ. But we must learn to recognize when that is happening so that we can put aside those distractions and fix our eyes on Him. As with any area of life that needs to be mastered, focusing on Christ takes discipline and preparation. If we start out by turning our day over to the Lord, it will be easier for us to be aware of His presence throughout the day; and that awareness will help us avoid becoming distracted.

Glorifying God should be our focus in everything we do. The only way to accomplish that is by giving Him one hundred percent of ourselves one hundred percent of the time; and, like the postage stamp, sticking to that goal until we reach heaven.


Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
Solomon
