Do you ever feel like life is coming at you so fast that all you can do is react? We rush headlong from one day to the next, handling each new crisis as it comes up, and we begin to think that that’s just the way life is. We get really good at living a “spur of the moment” kind of life.

Being able to roll with life’s punches can be a valuable skill-set. The problem, though, is that, once we buy into the thinking that life is mainly just about reacting, it can affect our sense of purpose. It can cause us to forget that we were created to be more than crisis managers. God has bigger plans for us than that. But before we can live into those plans, we’ve got to know where we’re heading. We’ve got to learn to stop reacting to life’s distractions and to start focusing on our destination. Join us this week as we look at how Jesus “set his face” and kept his eyes focused on his mission.
