Perhaps this picture illustrates alittle how life is like.
There's a path ahead for each one of us to walk, as seen from the start and end of this tunnel-like thing. However, along the way one comes across many distractions as depicted by the holes. Sometimes, we succeed in keeping our focus and stay on track. But on other occassions, we give in to them and peer out of the holes, losing our focus on what's most important.
Looking at it in a slightly different light, maybe the number of distractions (holes) differ with each individual. Each hole represents the danger we pose to ourself in losing our focus. The more holes that are present, the more likely we will be distracted. On the other hand, the fewer holes there are, the less likely we are to lose focus.
Just some food for thought,
How often do we give in to distractions and lose focus of the goal?
How many holes are present in each of our lives?
Perhaps if there are more holes than we can handle, something needs to be done.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
