fix my eyes

Ever think about where you’ll be in 5, 10, 20, 50 years?

Whenever and Wherever God calls you, He wants you to focus on the big picture

We need God to fix our eyes on the big picture.

Go to 1 Corinthians 7

17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision.

Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. 19 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. 20 Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called.

1. Religious or Not

a.“Lead the life the Lord has assigned” b.“Not circumcision but obedience”

The big picture is about your life with God, not your past.

2. Slave or Free

21 Were you a bondservant[d] when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22 For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ.

23 You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants[e] of men. 24 So, brothers,[f] in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.

a.“Don’t be concerned” b.“He who is called as a slave is a free man” c.“You were bought”

The big picture is about your life with God, not your social situation.

3. Married or Single

29 This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods,

31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away. 32 I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife,

34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

a.“Time has grown short” b.“Free from anxieties” c.“Be holy in body and spirit”

The big picture is about your life with God, not getting a spouse.

We need God to fix our eyes on the big picture.
