Where you fix your eyes determines where you’ll end up. Your vision shapes your direction, your choices, and ultimately your future. If your vision is set on the wrong things—whether it’s success, comfort, or approval—you’ll find yourself chasing after empty goals. But when you fix your eyes on Jesus, He will lead you to a life of peace, purpose, and fulfillment.
The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 12:1-2:
“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
It’s so easy to get distracted by the weight of daily life—stress, anxiety, and the pressure to succeed. But when our focus shifts away from Christ, we start to drift toward the wrong destination. Just like a runner who loses sight of the finish line, we can end up lost and discouraged when we’re focused on the wrong things.
Peter experienced this firsthand in Matthew 14 when he walked on water toward Jesus. As long as his eyes were fixed on Christ, he walked with confidence. But the moment he looked at the wind and the waves, he began to sink. The same is true in our lives—our strength comes from keeping our gaze on Jesus, not on the chaos around us.
God calls us to live with intentional vision. The life we want to live—a life of joy, purpose, and peace—is built daily through small, consistent choices to trust Jesus. It’s not about perfection but about perseverance.
So, where is your vision set today? Are you focused on the distractions and pressures of life, or are you fixing your eyes on the one who gives life? When you align your vision with God’s direction, He will lead you toward the life you were created for.
