Keeping focus on God (2)
"We are not people who turn back and are lost. Instead, we have faith and are saved. ...
... Let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. ...
Lift up your tired hands, then, and strengthen your trembling knees! Keep walking on straight paths, so that the lame foot may not be disabled, but instead be healed."
(Hebrews 10.39;12.1-2,12-13 GNB)
Those who reach the destination are those who do not turn back and keep going. Whatever the reason, turning back means I do not move forward toward the destination - I cannot get there.
I cannot stop either until I reach my destination. I need to keep my focus.
