Where's Your Focus?

I hope you know Corrie Ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who sought to save Jews from the Nazis during World War II. She got caught and was placed in a concentration camp, and, by the grace of God, survived.

Later she wrote The Hiding Place, and you should read it, if you haven’t already. It’s worth reading again, if you have.

She said this, and it seems like a great thought for a Monday.

"If you look to the world you’ll be distressed, if you look within you’ll be depressed, if you look to Christ you’ll be at rest." 

She’s simply reflecting what someone said in Hebrews 12 a long, long time ago.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
