Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on
Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God. - Hebrews 12:1-2
As pointed out in the post
“Attention on the Principles Taught”, we all have one thing in common. God is
maker of us all so let us put our attention on the principles taught by His Son
and we will have what we need to succeed. Let us fix our eyes on what is unseen;
never changing and eternal. Earthly struggles last a short time compared to
God’s path that leads to eternal peace and eternal bliss.
In the book Ordering Your
Private World by Gordon MacDonald, an idea is given to develop a series of
codes (keywords) that will help organize your thoughts and ideas. As we read, listen
to music, watch movies, or talk with people throughout life, document thoughts
and ideas by organizing according to these keywords. For example from the song Fix My Eyes by King & Country,
below are some thoughts we can document for the key word focus (Focus on God):
Love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall and above it all
