Monday Mindset Week 4
Have you ever needed to be reminded to “Focus Forward”? In the military, we were sometimes given the command, “Eyes or Ready Front”. After a command to turn our heads 45 degrees to the right for acknowledgement and a salute, we were reminded to return our eyes to the forward position. In the same way, God wants our gaze to be upon what is in front of us. “Eyes Right” is a temporary term. There is a song that reminds us to “Turn Our Eyes Upon Jesus” as we let the things of earth grow strangely dim. Another song says, “Let Me See Jesus Only” because only He can satisfy.
Remember, although Jesus had a “Focus Forward”, He didn’t ignore those in His peripheral vision. He took time to temporarily turn His “Eyes Right” but He always returned to “Eyes (Ready) Front.”
Are your eyes on Jesus? Are your ears attentive to His Voice and His Commands? He is the Shepherd and we are His sheep. He will lead us when we acknowledge and submit to HIm.
John 10:27 - My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
“Focusing Forward” requires keeping our eyes, ears, heart, and mind focused on Jesus. Make sure you follow where He leads you this week! May He use you for the praise of His glory, for the building up of His Church, and for the growth of His Kingdom here on earth and into Heaven.
