Runaway Bride

Proverbs 4:25-27
“Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Consider the paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your feet from evil.”

Today is Royal Wedding day, and yes I did watch the whole thing. Sticking with weddings, have you ever watched Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts? If you haven't, it's basically about a lady who continuously runs down the aisle, but the wrong way. When's she's about to marry Ike (finally the right guy), he asks one of the guys left at the altar by Maggie for advice, and he says "Maintain eye contact." And the wedding was going great till Ike blinked from a camera flash, lost eye contact and Maggie ran.

If we lose eye contact with God, we'll lose our nerve and run. Maintain eye contact with the Lord, fix your gaze on Him. We walk a narrow path, but it’s a good path. It’s the only way to life. All other roads lead not to Rome, but to hell. Simple as that. If you don't want to run, fix your gaze on Jesus and your feet will follow Him.
