Do you know what blinkers are? They are something that horses wear on their eyes, when they run the race. Blinkers help horses fix their eyes on the race in front of them, so they do get distracted by the crowds on their sides. It looks like this:
The Bible says that when we run this life race, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:2). But, when we try to do that, we face so many distractions that keep us from doing that. For example, when we try to have some time with God through prayer, we may be tempted to do something else, more fun, and more exciting. So, we too need blinkers to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.
What is your blinker? It can be anything such as a little post-it on your doorpost that says, "Love Jesus." Or, it can simply be an alarm clock that reminds you a time for the Bible reading and prayer. What is your blinker that keeps your eyes fixed on Jesus Christ?
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus..." (Hebrews 12:2, ESV)
