What Are You Looking At?

The view from the front porch changes every day. Sometimes several times a day!

This was Wednesday.

 
 
And this was yesterday.
 
 
 
Today looks like this.
 
 
 
Life is a lot like that.  Some days are clear. Some days, not so much.  And some days are just completely fogged in.
 
What do we do?  How do we handle it when we can't see clearly?  Decisions.  Relationships. Circumstances.  It's all hard to deal with when our view is clouded.
 
Whether on a clear day or when we're clouded in, the answer to all life's issues is found in this simple phrase:  "looking to Jesus."  (Hebrews 12:2 ESV)
 
That gives clarity in every situation of life!
 
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."                            (Hebrews 12:1-2 NASB)
