S2E1: What Makes It So Difficult to KEEP Our Eyes on The Lord?

You don’t need another distraction, worry or frustration. What you need, is a target!

There used to be a television show on the History Channel called Top Shot. It was an American reality show in which 16 contestants, split into two teams of eight, would compete against each other in various types of shooting challenges. The winner would receive a $100,000 grand prize along with the coveted title of “Top Shot.”

The challenges would often require contestants to navigate through unknown scenarios, shooting various kinds of guns, at all kinds of targets. In every episode, leading to the final episode, contestants would be eliminated based on how close they came to hitting their targets. This is what brought life to the show, bringing viewers back, week after week.

The point I want to highlight about Top Shot, is that, without a target, there’s no show!

Without a target, there is nothing to shoot at; no new scenario, no competition for contestants to be eliminated, and no reason to keep viewers interested in watching the show.

This is WHY learning to fix our eyes upon the Lord is such an important practice for avoiding an otherwise boring and uninteresting life.

As the One who gives life to all things and breathes life into every part of our being, there’s no one better to fix our eyes upon, than Jesus!

The truth that Jesus is the giver of life then begs the question: What makes it so difficult to KEEP our eyes on the Lord? Take a listen and find out!
