FMEOJ

WHAT?    I am usually curious of acronyms.  I work in a government setting, so I have ample opportunities to discover new acronyms--there seems to be one for just about anything.  Often times they spell out an actual word, other times they look like this title.  When I see unfamiliar acronyms, I find myself tantalized to figure it out, trying my best to match possible words pertaining to the material at hand that could encompass this shortcut meaning.
So, FMEOJ-are you like me and have attempted to solve?  Well, here it is....Fixing My Eyes On Jesus!  This should be our daily goal, our modus operandi (MO), seeking God to fend off Satan's temptations.  In Matthew 14:29-30, Peter takes his eyes/focus off Jesus on the water and begins to sink.  That is what happens in our lives as we fixate on other means in an effort to satisfy us.  God's loving grace is sufficient-even during those difficult trials we face.....do we live like we believe this?  I often fail especially when I do not FMEOJ and try to resolve issues my way.  We need reminded often.  May we truly seek Him first, look to the Lord, thanking and praising Him in the good times and the bad.  Proverbs 4:25-27 suggests similar advise.......Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.  Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
