The "Son in your Eye"

Yesterday, as I was driving to church, squinting from the rays of sun blinding me, I saw a profound church billboard scrolling the following wisdom: “Keep the Son in your Eye.” What a simple statement to remind me of my daily walk with God. “Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” Hebrews 2:2 ponders this reality of keeping Christ fixed on our spiritual radar wherever we are. That is not an easy task as we have realized these 10 days of this Pentecost Experience. Like Peter, as we begin to walk on water, get out of the boat, it’s easy to take our eyes and our hearts off of Jesus and start to sink. It’s easy to get busy, hard to balance our time with family, put off journaling, or even find time for authentic prayer and intimacy with God.

I guess I have realized that we are going be blinded by a lot of other things competing for our time and our hearts. And, most of the time those are all good things that God has blessed us with in the places and spaces of our lives.

Today, I’m praying for being blinded by the “Son.” Blinded by the awesome light and power of God’s amazing grace and love for me. For when we let that light so shine in us, it gets reflected through us and unto the world around us. And, we will shine. (even if it’s raining out)
