“Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.” – Hebrews 3:1
Cornelius "Neal" Plantinga Jr. is an American theologian and author. He most notably served as president of Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan from 2002 through 2011.
In his book “Pray the Lord My Mind to Keep,” Dr. Plantinga: “To love God intellectually is to become a student of God—a student who really takes an interest in God. Have you ever noticed that a fair number of Christians are not particularly interested in God? Some of them are ministers. These are people who don’t ask about God, don’t talk about God, and maybe don’t even think about God unless they really have to. Their interest in God seems merely professional. Isn’t this strange? Shouldn’t we be somewhat preoccupied with God? Lovers get preoccupied with their beloved, they notice things about the one they love.”
In this life, we need to constantly fix our eyes upon Jesus to show us His way. Today in prayer, fix your thoughts upon Jesus and seek to follow Him every step of your life.
“God’s purpose for my life is to increasingly grow in my personal knowledge of God as I follow Him in a life of faith. And then to make Him known to others.” – Anne Graham Lotz
God’s Word: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” – 2 Corinthians 4:18
