KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

1 Peter 5:8
King James Version

One of my pastors said many times in his sermons "Keep your eyes on Jesus and on Him alone because as soon as you take your eyes off Him and put them on your circumstances or people, satan will do his best to cause problems and discourage you from serving Jesus".  The pastor was so right because every time I put my eyes on my circumstances instead of keeping my  eyes on Jesus, I get discouraged.

Helen H. Lemmel wrote one of my favorite hymns "Turn 

Your Eyes upon Jesus".  "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace."  Don't look to your pastor, your Sunday school teacher or to me because we are human and there are times we hurt Jesus and break His heart.  Keep your eyes on Jesus and only on Him because He will never hurt you or fail you.
