The lazy days of summer are rapidly drawing to a close and soon the leaves will start turning as fall makes another cool entry. The changing seasons usually make me ponder the events of the previous season. Did I accomplish all I set out to do? Did I accomplish what I should have focused on doing? Am I ready for the start of yet another season?

In the end, I guess I find great comfort in the words of Paul — “We keep moving forward with our eye on the prize, that which Christ Jesus has already won for us.”

As we journey through life, keeping our eye on the prize which Jesus won for us, is of the utmost importance. With that in mind, suddenly everything else that screams for attention, falls by the wayside as I ponder His grace and His mercy in my life.
