It’s impossible to effectively drive while looking in your review mirror. You’ll miss a turn and get lost. The best way to drive is with both hands on the wheel, staring with both eyes ahead on the road. Any other way will not work. Living in the past and comparing yourself with others will only complicate and distract you. Taking your eyes off the road (Jesus), will only guarantee a bumpy ride; one that may get you stuck in a ditch, forever. You can’t plow straight lines, while looking backwards. And neither can you walk straight on the righteous road, while taking your eyes off Jesus. It’s just not possible. Keep your eyes on the prize, and you’ll be rewarded with a strong resolve.
62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:62
