The Holy Spirit says today that we need to set our gaze fully on the path He Jesus has set before us. Now He pointed out to me how we ought to gaze continually at something with the intent and purpose of taking note of every movement and observing any change that happens. Revelation.4:6-11.
The intent is to record all changes or disturbances that occur, in order that we do not miss even the slightest movement which can give additional insight or knowledge. The Holy Spirit pointed out that this is the level of attention we need to give to the things He speaks to us.
We need to develop a mindset that doesn’t take the words He speaks lightly by acting presumptuously assuming we have all the knowledge necessary once we hear a word. John.5:30.
We need He pointed out to focus our attention with fixed purpose as Jesus did at the garden of Gethsemane before going ahead and walking the path of the cross for us. Luke.22:39-46.
The writer of Hebrews pointed out in Hebrews.12:2 & 3.that Jesus looked at the joy set before Him not the side show of the pain, shame and sorrow. His gaze was completely on the path the Father had prepared for Him and there was no turning from it.
The Holy Spirit said that’s what we need to continue doing daily to build our walk with Him to ensure we will not come off the path because of side shows that look interesting and lucrative. Ephesians.2:10.
Looking straight ahead and not allowing life’s distractions which He pointed out will always be there. 1 John.2:15-17. We need to be able to navigate life in spite of them and zero in on the Lord’s path for our lives.
Doing Him and fulfilling His pleasure is more valuable than any side show satan can muster to distract us and we need to recognise this by making our adjustments to line up with God. More and More He pointed out we are going to need to develop our gazing on Him.
That means we see nothing but His will and plan and live in that zone of life free of the enemy and the ups and downs of misses and partial victories. Ephesians.2:7.
We need to want to inherit the full prize and not be willing to settle for a partial relief of victory that keeps us running circles of pain, trauma and small blessings of relief. Ephesians.1:13 & 14.
I encourage you today to take the high road and set your gaze upon the path the Lord has prepared for you. Purposefully ignore all the life distractions that are vying for your attention. Mark.4:16-19.
Then watch all those seemingly great ideas wither before you and become nothing as you march in the triumphant path of the Lord that brings you rich fulfilment in all things which makes and keeps you whole in Jesus Name. Amen.
