Blacked-Out Goggles
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12:2
(NIV).
The other day I listened to an Olympic swimmer who is forty-one and has qualified to return to the Olympics.
When asked why she thought she beat out people decades younger than her, she, of course, cited her work-out routine and diet..
I heard her say something interesting. Early on, one of her coaches
blacked out the sides of her goggles, so she couldn't see the other
swimmers. She could only focus on her own performance.
As Believers, we need to blackout the sides of our spiritual goggles as
well. Then we will not pay attention to Sally next door's walk with
God or our Aunt Maddy's two towns over.
We must focus on Jesus and Him alone because He is the only One who
died for our sins and finished the work of redemption, healing,
salvation, deliverance and total life prosperity on the cross.
Keep your eyes focused on Him and the finished work of the cross, and you will win the race every time.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? Do you believe Jesus
died to pay the price for your sin? That He was raised from the dead?
Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins. Come into
my heart and be my Lord and Saviour." If you believed in your heart
and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again. Let us know if you
prayed this prayer.
