Turn your eyes

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.” 

The simplest act. To move my gaze. 

From the task. Pain. Problems. Ordinary ins and outs of every day.

It’s easy. No complicated checklist required.

And yet…

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

Such as it is

Jars filled with water. Outwardly common. Inwardly plain. 

Others know what we’re made of. See the flaws. Rough edges. They remember the ordinary ways we walk and talk. 

But we surrender. To the One who receives this offering. 

Such as it is.

Divided heart

A divided heart leads to ruin. Fragmented loyalties weaken resolve. 

Consider Solomon. Wise beyond his years. Or anyone else’s.

The divine instructions are detailed. Laid out so clearly. In two recorded encounters with his Maker. (1 Kings 3 and 9)

But he fools around. 
Taking careless, measured steps. 
Away from wholehearted devotion. 

Undivided heart. Psalm 86:11.
