Live It – YOUR OBSTACLES
Years ago I started mountain biking. I wasn’t very good; I was timid and apprehensive. And there was a good reason–I kept falling. Over and over. I would hit every single rock, every single tree root, and every single obstacle.
Frustrated because I kept slowing him down, my buddy asked me, “How do you keep hitting everything?”
I said, “I don’t know. I would love to stop.”
He said to me, “What are you doing when you are coming up to an obstacle?”
I said, “I’m looking at the root and thinking, ‘Don’t hit the root! Don’t hit the root! Don’t hit the root!’ and then I hit the root.”
He said, “That’s the problem. Instead of focusing on the obstacle, focus on the clear path around the obstacle.”
The easiest way to avoid the obstacle the enemy is throwing in front of us is to FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS! He will illuminate a clear path forward.
