Eye On The Goal

Philippians 3:4b-14

Bang! I can’t believe I backed into a car! And neither could the other driver in the Target parking lot. I had looked behind just a second or two ago, but got distracted. Luckily, we were both going so slow, there was no real damage to either car. At faster road speeds, it is even more important to keep your eye on the road- there is more at stake, damage from driving distracted goes up.

Worse than driving distracted, is living distracted. And it’s not just ‘unspiritual’ or evil influences that can get us distracted. In our spiritual life, sometimes the ways and means or methods by which we use to get to God, may actually get out of balance and become the focus, rather than help us to focus, on Christ.

We stop and take a moment to pause, and remind ourselves, that ‘it’s all about Jesus!’ With Jesus at the center, the rest of life can fit in (or, not; and that’s ok!) around our center-Jesus.
