Have you noticed how when your mind is not quite on a task, you don’t quite do the task as quickly or as accurately as you would normally?
The same can be said of our life as a Christian, as when we take our eyes off Christ, we lose our focus and we can say and do things which are not Christ-like.
We therefore must make sure we keep our eyes on Christ, as only then can we hope to live as God wants us to each day.
