David wrote Psalm 61:1-2. I often quote verse two when I’m facing the impossible. It says, “From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

We stay the course by not looking back. If a farmer does not focus on something stable at the end of his row, his furrows will not be straight. Our past has passed ~ forever. We cannot go back and change anything that happened. 

Neither can we receive what the Lord wants to bestow on us in the present when we keep looking back. Hebrews 12:2 says that we are to keep looking to Jesus. He is the Author of our faith. He endured because of the joy set before Him ~ us!

We stay the course as we gaze upon the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18. As we gaze our inner being is supernaturally transformed. We become more in character like the One we are beholding.
