Day 1: Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

Every race requires focus. The runner who looks around stumbles; the one who locks eyes on the goal finishes strong. The author of Hebrews tells us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. He endured the cross, scorned its shame, and now reigns at the right hand of God. His example gives courage to endure and strength to keep going. Whatever your hardship, lift your gaze from the problem to the One who has already overcome.

Reflection: What is pulling your focus away from Jesus right now? How could a clear view of Him change your response to today’s challenges?

Prayer: Jesus, fix my eyes on You. Let Your example guide my steps and steady my heart.
