Yesterday and today I attended a course titled Read Faster! Memorise Better! Think Clearer. For the first part which is read faster, we learn how to do speed reading. The essence of speed reading is how we train our eye movement. Apparently we can train our eye. At the same time, our eyes can be easily tricked. For example, yesterday we were shown several images where when we fixated on certain dots for a long time, we will still see the images even when they are no longer shown. A grey surrounding around black dot can also disappear when we fixate on the black dot. A negative film can also be changed to color one when we fixated on three dots of red green and blue.
All those remind me the importance of fixing our eyes to the correct object. Like my eyes, I am also easily tricked by my mind and fear. I often think myself as worthless. I hate myself. I could not do many things. I cannot stand doing things when I am anxious. I guess those mean that I focus on the wrong place. So I need to turn my eyes upon Jesus. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will go strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace; said a song.
It reminds me also on one story and one personal experience. The story is on how Peter started to be drown when he focused on the water instead of Jesus. A personal experience was learning how to stay on the plank for more than 6 seconds during motorcycle lesson - the key was to focus looking far instead of looking down on the plank.
So, let’s focus our eyes upon Jesus so that we can enjoy Him and glorify Him forever.
