Divine Dispatch
Hebrews 12:2
Focus Finders: Eyes on the Prize
Verse Of The Day:
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2)
Imagine you’re in a big race, running through a challenging course with lots of distractions around. It might be easy to look around or even think about giving up. Hebrews 12:2 tells us to keep our eyes on Jesus, like focusing on the finish line, because He shows us how to run the race with courage and joy, even when it’s tough.
Jesus is our ultimate role model. He faced big challenges, even the cross, but He kept going because He knew the wonderful things that would come after—being with God forever and making that possible for us too. When we “fix our eyes” on Jesus, we remember His love and the good things He has planned for us, which helps us keep going, no matter what obstacles we face.
Vision Binoculars Craft:
Make your own “Vision Binoculars” using paper tubes, stickers, and markers. Decorate them with words or pictures that remind you of Jesus’s journey and His qualities. Use your binoculars to focus on things that help you remember to stay strong and joyful in your challenges.
Time For A Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You for showing us how to live with faith and joy, even when things are difficult. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on You every day. Give us strength to face our challenges and to remember that with You, there is always joy ahead. Amen.
Keep running your race, Faith Force Focus Finders! Remember, until our next Divine Dispatch, keep your Vision Binoculars handy and your eyes on Jesus, the true finish line in our race of life.
