What happens when you’re driving and you take your eyes off the road to stare at something off to the side? You inevitably begin to drift in the direction where you’re looking! Many terrible accidents have happened because drivers didn’t stay focused on the road ahead. That’s precisely the danger facing every follower of Christ. There is so much to distract and to draw our attention away from Him and the eternal rewards which await those who faithfully run the race of faith. We start eyeing the temporary pursuits and pleasures of this world and slowly begin to drift off course. Before you know it, we’re careening toward heartache and loss. Dear friends, I urge you to pay close attention to the road that God lays out before you. Do whatever it takes to keep your eyes on Christ and on His Word. Look for His guidance in ev- ery step you take and He will direct you to a finish line with far greater reward than anything this world can give you.
You’ve heard me say it many times:
“Jesus is a Good Shepherd and He always leads us well.”
Follow His lead all the way to the correct Finish Line!
