Pushing Forward...

Yeah...I seem to have a lot of trouble keeping up daily with this whole blog posting thing. I can't use the excuse of being overly busy. It's an issue of just doing it, and not being sidetracked or distracted by other things. Lots and lots of other things.

It's easy to be distracted in our walks. I remember once a youth pastor speaking on "putting the blinders on". He explained how racehorses would have these things placed over their heads that would prevent them from seeing anywhere except straight ahead. Apparently, horses have horrible times focusing straight ahead.

Does that sound familiar?

He spoke about how when the horse's would have the blinders on, they'd run straight ahead and not be distracted by the things outside the racing circle such as the crowd or announcers. Much in the same way, we as Christians need to put our spiritual blinders on so that we may focus on the race we are running.

Stay focused on the goal. Use your spiritual blinders to fend off distractions. And run the race to the finish.
