Your whisper it warms me like a summer breeze
Your anger is fiercer than the sun in its splendour
You’re close and yet full of mystery
Ever since the day that I saw Your face
Try as I may, I cannot look away, I cannot look away…
Captivated by You
I am captivated by You
May my life be one unbroken gaze
Fixed upon the beauty of Your face
-'Captivated' by Vicky Beeching
Lord, please let my blinks and winks be mindful of your grace as well. So that I won't be staring into the distance looking for something I've never seen or felt before. I haven't physically seen a tangible 'you', but I constantly feel you. True, I do want to keep my focus on you while my eyes are open, but I hopehopehope that thoughts of you run through my head even when my eyes are closed-every split millisecond. My daydreams. My nightdreams. My nightmares. In times of focus, frustration, and fatigue. May all these shut-eye moments be filled with your unbelievable wonders that continue to amaze me so much that I have no choice but to see them come and pass with eyes wide open!As much as we often SAY we want one unbroken gaze fixated upon the Lord, how often does that actually happen within us? This unbroken gaze is meant to be understood as whatever we want to be focused on. What we see in front of us or in our heads is what we are thinking about, no matter how often we admit it.
Philippians 4:8 says "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
Psalm 12:1-2 says "To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.
What are you fixated on? What consumes your thoughts and actions? Do you have the 'right' focus?
