day no. 14,876: staring contest

2 Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

The love of the Father and the steadfastness of the Son deserve our constant attention and affection. But we cannot stay focused on either without the aid of God. We need direction. We default to drift. 

Hebrews 2:1
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

By God's grace, He directs our hearts to His love and His steadfastness, both of which provide surety of our future security, strength for our present circumstances and solace for our past mistakes.

We need to stare our hearts more on God's love and Christ's perseverance. In dwelling on those, we find an eternal source of life, breath and everything else.
