Don't look down. This is my new favorite expression. Don't look down. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Look up! My friend told me she just read that when seniors begin to look down when they walk, because they are in fear of falling, looking down becomes a bad habit. When you look down, you may prevent yourself from stumbling on a stone or a crack in the sidewalk, but you are now in danger of walking into a much bigger object that can cause harm. I love this analogy. When we look down (where Jesus ain't) we are in danger of walking into harmful situations. But if we look up (where Jesus is) we walk right into His Presence, where peace, love, mercy and justice are. My friends, I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus, I'm looking up! Don't look down.

Thanks girls for the support!!
That's great. I love it.
I had to come back for seconds as I used your blog in part of our lesson today. In 5th grade Bible class we are studying Christian basics and our verse today was Hebrews 12:1-3. We were talking about having goals and pressing towards the mark and she said that "If you are gonna try to get to Jesus you should make sure you look to see where He is." Wow! That sounded just like your post so I read it to her today and she really liked it. That child of mine has a certain discernment that surprises me at time. Thanks for "joining" us in class today!
Peace,

I am a senior - but I don't look down. I look straight ahead - is that okay? :) I look up when I am stopped - unless birds are flying overhead! lol Sometimes I look to the side - Jesus walks with me always.
