Staying Focused

What do you think of this beautiful fall picture?  If you look closely you can see a worn path that leads up the hill. It is barely visible. When you’re walking with dogs, it’s hard to stay on a path that is barely visible.  

There are places where I walk that you can’t even see a path anymore because very few use this path.   It is temporary.  By the end of this year this path will not exist when winter falls on it and in the spring a new path I will have to tread.

How often I lose sight of where I am going in my walk with Jesus.  I have to be in that relationship with God every day.  If I don’t stay connected or focused on Him and His teachings, I lose sight of what is truly eternal.  I need to set a special time each day and usually it is in the morning before I go off to work that I open His word and read His inspired words to me.   

For me, eternal means forever without end, life after death with God and His son, Jesus.  I will be with Him forever worshiping and praising Him before His heavenly throne.  Oh - what a beautiful sight that will be one day.  So today I am fixing my eyes on Him, not the path.
