Grace for your spirit January 30, 2014

Grace for your spirit
But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

To plow a straight row, it is necessary to fix our eyes on a point and head straight for it.  If we try to plow while looking back, we will be all over the place.  Jesus uses this analogy in kingdom service.  To be effective, we must focus on Jesus before us. If our hearts, interests, and passions are in a different direction,  we will falter and fail.  Many say they want to follow Jesus but their interests are in the world.  Let's lay aside the encumbrances and the sin which so easily entangle us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus   Hebrews12:1
