Keeping My Eyes On Jesus

"LORD, help me see things with spiritual eyes and not with eyes of this world."

I am a perfectionist who likes to have order in everything.  It just feels right to me.  It saves me time and helps me complete things more quickly.

A few weeks ago, I found myself so wrapped up in getting everything in order that at the end of my day, I was exhausted. I was spending too much time getting my worldly life in order and spending less time preparing for my eternity.  I was questioning why I was not hearing God. I realized it was because I was not listening for Him.  I was too busy organizing.

"Thank you God for quickening my spirit and helping me see the importance of keeping my eyes on You."
