Calvin
Partain recounted a good story from the farming years of his youth that helps
us in our walk with Jesus:
In
the cotton farming country around Lamesa, Texas, where I grew up, the land was
flat and the cotton rows often where as straight as an arrow. I asked a farmer
how he made the rows so straight. He said, "When I plow a new role I fix
my eyes on an object at the far end of the field and never look back. You can't
plow looking back.
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of
witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For
the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down
at the right hand of the throne of God (HEB. 12:1-2.) NIV 1984
