EYES ON THE BALL

Learning to play table tennis was interesting.You need to concentrate, focus, plan and be ready at all times for the opponent.Your coach watches your every move and when he sees that you are not concentrating enough will shout"eyes on the ball".

In real life it is also easy to be distracted.It is easy to be discouraged.Our failings may weigh us down.The struggle may make us weary.But we still need to focus on the goal.The real goal.We need to remember always that there is a noble goal worthy of our concentration.A goal of growing from a child of this world into a child of God.

The task ahead is great and so are the distractions.Whilst attending to our challenges, we need to keep the bigger picture in view.In the midst of the storms let us look within and draw strenght from Above.Let us remain focussed and be sensitive to all impressions assailing us, not giving in to all the deceit of these times.

May we always remember the words - "Watch and pray".
