Eye on the Ball

When I was a little girl I was trying to learn how to play baseball. I would keep trying to look at the bat to make sure it was in the right place, and I kept failing miserably. Then someone called out to me, "Keep your eye on the ball!" Instead of focusing on the bat, focus on the ball. Changing my watch made a big difference.

Sometimes I forget to change my outlook concerning spiritual things. I look at my short comings and get so focused on them; I forget to keep my focus on the over comer of short comings. I focus on me; not God.

Today, I hope to remember to keep my eye on Jesus and not myself and my world.
