‘Nothing great was ever done without much enduring,’ wrote St Catherine of Siena.
As Henri Nouwen writes, ‘If I were to let my life be taken over by what is urgent, I might very well never get around to what is essential.’
Jesus ‘never lost sight of where he was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God’ (v.2, MSG). Jesus ‘never lost sight of where he was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God’ (v.2, MSG). The only way to make ‘straight paths for your feet’ (v.13, KJV) is to be looking ahead at the goal rather than looking down at your feet. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. For every one look within, take ten looks at him.
