One, two, eyes on you!
That is what is called an "attention grabber" or "callback." The intent is to use it with a group in order to get the focus back on to the speaker.
When I was thinking about what it means to "keep your eyes on Jesus" I was reminded on this attention grabber. Sometimes in life something pulls our attention away and we need to be redirected to the thing that matters.
In Hebrews 12:1b-2a we are instructed to run the race God has out before us by keeping our eyes on Jesus. But what does this mean?
Just like the attention grabber is used to get eyes back on the speaker, to put your eyes on Jesus, you simply need to switch your focus to Him.
In today's world we are surrounded by distractions. Many things push and pull for our attention. What are you paying attention to? What are your eyes on?
Fix your eyes on Jesus. Read the Bible. Pray. "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
