This World
I'm sitting here, two cups of coffee down, room service breakfast down, waiting on the football game, anticipating Stephanie's baby shower this afternoon, feet propped up and watching the gulf waters, boats and dolphins float by and I'm thinking about the craziness that is our world today. Part of me wants to worry about what is ahead for my "greats".
This morning (during devotional/praise music time 👼) I read in Hebrews 12: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
So, today, I'm "fixing my eyes on Jesus" and I'm not losing heart. I'm considering Him. I can't think of a better response to the world situation. I don't know what's next, but He does. I can work with that.
