What Are Our Eyes Fixed On?

It's always amazed me how I can be looking right at something and not see it. I can remember walking the beach not so long ago and there was this immense bed of shells before me, so many that I couldn't really see any individual ones.

I'm supposing now, but I'm beginning to believe that my day could be looked at in the same way. Lots of choices to act upon, and dozens of opportunities to be a moment changer.

My sister has the ability to fix on certain foods and music. Today it was food. As we drove over a high-point of the road she spotted the golden arches tucked away amongst a jungle of structures. I could only guess by her excited reaction that she saw nothing else but the arches. She saw through her view finder an image that meant something to her. All the other structures were reduced to clutter around what she was fixed on.

What if we were fixed on the sick, the lost, the suffering... what images mean the most to us? What images pop out in our view finders? What are our eyes fixed on?

'So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal' (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Pray on,
