WILL WE EVER LEARN

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:2 KJV

When I was growing up my Mother used to get upset with me because I didn’t always listen to her and do what she told me to do.  She said “It doesn’t matter what I say, you’re going to do what you want to do”.  I think if we will listen with our heart, we will hear Jesus saying the same thing to us.

Jesus has proved to us over and over how much He loves us and that He will never leave us.  O that you and I would keep our eyes on Jesus and on Him alone and allow Him to lead and guide us.  He will never fail us and He will never leave us, not even for a minute.  O how I love Jesus.

I have a pinball game on my computer that I play to keep my fingers from getting stiff.  I know that I need to keep my eyes on the ball but I allow my mind to wander and I lose the ball.  Jesus has warned us to be on the alert for the sneaky attacks of satan (1 Peter 5:8) yet we don’t always do it.

Will we ever learn to keep our eyes on Jesus and allow Him to lead and guide us?  We don’t know the future but He does.  We hurt Him when we don’t keep our eyes on Him and do what He tells us to do.  He loves us so much He died for us so He will guide and protect us if we will let Him.

Heavenly Father, thank You for sharing Jesus with us and for being a compassionate tender loving Father.  Help us to trust Jesus and to keep our eyes on Him.  Thank You, Jesus for loving us and for helping us.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
