The Eternal Gaze - No. 78

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12

To remain steadfast does not come easy. It requires a continuous gaze on the cross. Knowing Christ has done the work and that he is the only hope on which we can rest will steady our course. If we remove our gaze from him our lives will go off course, the problems of this life will fill our boats with water and eventually dash us against the rocks. Steady your course and remain steadfast with God's Word. Our gaze must remain on Him. That eternal gaze is the only way to remain steadfast. The crown of life awaits. 

Dear Lord,

Please let me fix my eyes on you. Help me to be steadfast. You are my only hope. Let me not forget that. 

Amen.
