Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

It’s all very well to accept that invitation to the table but what happens after Jesus draws back your seat and tenderly places a napkin in your lap? Are you a little like me with thoughts that spin in your head at an alarming rate, distractions that seem like a thousand ping-pong balls dropped from the ceiling?

As I sat with the LORD trying to still my mind I heard him say the word “𝔽𝕠𝕔𝕦𝕀 – π•šπ•₯ π•šπ•€ π•₯π•šπ•žπ•– π•₯𝕠 𝕗𝕠𝕔𝕦𝕀. 𝕀π•₯ π•šπ•€ π•₯π•šπ•žπ•– π•₯𝕠 𝕀π•₯π•šπ•π• π•₯𝕙𝕖 π•₯π•™π• π•¦π•˜π•™π•₯𝕀 π•₯𝕙𝕒π•₯ π•€π•‘π•šπ•Ÿ π•šπ•Ÿ π•žπ•ͺ π•‘π•£π•–π•€π•–π•Ÿπ•”π•–. π•‹π•šπ•žπ•– π•₯𝕠 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕝π•ͺ, ‘Be still and know that I Am God.” (Ps 46:10)

Hebrews 3:1 says this – “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.” That ‘heavenly calling’ in the Greek indicates an invitation to a feast. The table He has prepared for you! ‘*Fix your thoughts on Jesus!’ *Focus on the Saviour! Don’t let your eye be distracted by the battle going on before you, no matter the intensity or ferocity, the enemy is just trying to divert your attention.

Focus on His Words, His smile, His love, kindness, and faithfulness. Stay present in the moment. Allow Holy Spirit to wash over you and settle your mind. Be still. Consider Jesus.
