TARGET FIXATION

Philippians 3:13–14 (KJV) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. In driving psychology, there’s a well-documented phenomenon called target fixation. When a driver shifts their gaze from the road, even briefly, their hands and steering naturally follow the direction of their eyes. Likewise, many Christians still face the same turmoil as unbelievers because they haven’t fixed their focus on the things of God or turned away from their old way of living. Where your attention goes, your life follows. This is why Apostle Paul urges us to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling. In this Year of Strange Oil, keep your eyes on the path ahead; let go of the past and move forward! PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, fix my focus on Your calling for my life.
