Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
The boys have been saving up to get new sights for their bows. They have been going on a few shoots and doing pretty well, but they feel like they could be doing better if they had these new sights. They finally got them last week and have been working on getting them adjusted just right.
Now, I’m thinking that they just need to practice more because it is the person behind the bow, not the accessories on the bow that hits the target. Just saying…I know that even if I got the best running shoes out there, I still wouldn’t be running any marathons. However, there are times when wisdom needs to prevail and you should just keep your thoughts to yourself. Those with bows and arrows find their accessories very important.
Sooo…they are out there shooting and adjusting, shooting and adjusting. They started to increase the yardage they were shooting and they were getting bullseyes! It was working! What a difference it makes to know exactly where your target is and where to aim. It was great listening to the excited whoops and to see the ear-to-ear smiles. Boy I’m glad I held my tongue because those sights did help.
I learned two things:
- Wisdom on when to keep your comments to yourself is important.
- When you see your target clearer, you get the bullseye.
Unless you have a clear sight as to where you’re aiming, you tend to be off the mark. How can we make sure we see things clearly? Fixing our eyes on Jesus!
