Fixing my eyes on Jesus

Everyday is a new day to greet the world and greet the Lord. Each morning I wake up to a new set of circumstances that challenge my tendency to focus on myself rather than on God and His purposes.

Jesus says to fix our eyes on Him. That kind of laser beam focus I know is what I need to greet each new day.


Also, this kind of focus gives me His perspective on my circumstances, versus my own perspective. What would I rather have to direct my day...His mind or my own? Well, I believe He is a lot smarter than I, so I it would be prudent to seek his mind first.


He says, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." How? By fixing on Him.
