Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
This is a quote I saw this morning that is attributed to Helen Keller. I saw it and immediately thought of keeping my eyes on Jesus at all times. I have no idea if this is what she had in mind or not but it works for me in the pre-dawn darkness of this day. I had been, during my prayer time and while reading the bible this morning, struggling with temptation and with lies from the devil. I was wishing I could figure out some way of defeating the tempter when I saw those words of Helen Keller's. There was the obvious answer right there! It is like
the old gospel song says:Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.Ah, what a great way to start this day, thank you Lord.
