Blake Long

We wake up up each morning to war. We are pulled away by the constant news cycle, lured by our own temptations, and distracted by the phones in our hands.

It’s so hard to keep our eyes fixated on the glory of Heaven. But that’s exactly what we must do.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, the news falls into its rightful spot, our temptations weaken, and we don’t feel the need to pick our phones up constantly.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, we treat our neighbors with Christ-like love, keep our heads in Scripture, and make it a priority to be in church.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, our job is less burdensome, our hobbies more delightful, and our time with family is more enjoyable.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, we understand the ultimate meaning of life. Our world revolves around Jesus’s finished work, not our best efforts.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, we are reminded of Jesus’s perfect life, where He obeyed God’s law to the fullest extent; and we know that, by faith, His perfect life becomes ours.

When we keep our eyes on Heaven, we remember the sufficient of Christ’s atoning death for our sins. We remember our debt has been paid; our sin is no more.
