All Eyes on Him

Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.

PROVERBS 4:25

Position and size determine the focal point of a room. In a home with rich architectural details this might be a fireplace, a built-in set of bookcases, or a special window or group of windows like a picture window. Without those details a focal point for the room can still be created with the sizing and use of furniture, art, or dramatic wall color. Characterized by being the first thing you see when you enter a room, the focal point draws your eye forward, directly to the object.

As I write these words, I wonder what the focal point might be of your heart. I know how simple it is for my heart to be drawn from the important things that Christ has for me and to become caught up in the meaningless chaff of daily living. Maybe you have lost sight yourself and need to be reminded that the focal point of a heart reclaimed and renewed by God’s grace is indeed our Creator himself.

design tip

If your room has a built in focal point, fantastic! Keep it simple! If not, a large sofa or beautiful wall art can become that feature without any difficulty.

I thank you, Lord, so much for the gift of the light of Your Word that you have given to us! Empower me to share this Light with a world in need.
