The Juggler

I've read somewhere about how jugglers maintain their juggling. A juggler can juggle items, say balls, and probably as many as seven will keep flying over and over as he juggles them with his hand. He doesn't drop them. The secret? The juggler doesn't focus on just one of the balls. He focuses on the highest point. As high as a ball can reach, that's where he fixes his eyes on. And that's why he doesn't drop the balls.

The Bible commands us Christians, "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." (Hebrews 12:2, New International Version) What's higher than Jesus? Nothing. Let's keep our eyes on Him, and just when you think you're falling, He catches you.
