Hebrews 12:2 (NASB) "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."I don't know if you've ever hit it, but when it happens it's tough to push through! There is a phrase "hitting the wall" that happens when you have reached your limit, you can't seem to go any further and the simplest tasks seem out of reach. Today's verse shares about keeping our eyes upon Jesus and if you read the verse closely you will see that it says He endured the Cross for the joy set before Him! Ever wonder what the joy was or is that kept Jesus going all the way to the Cross? It was love, the love of our Heavenly Father to us! Let that sink in and now think about the times when you've hit the wall, where taking one more step or doing one more thing seems almost impossible! If we do, what we do, for the joy of the Lord, maybe we can find the strength to take the next step, to keep on when others are giving up. Whatever we are facing, push through and think of Jesus going all the way for us! Push on my friends in the strength of the Lord! peace, tom
