Sometimes in life and ministry and just going about our daily chores — spiritual and natural — we get burdened and weighed down, and our gaze drops. We lose sight of the vision we once had. Distractions creep in that take away the passionate vision and dream we used to have, and we’re left looking down at all the stuff going on around us.

Distractions can be a veil that stops us being free to see. Distractions could be having too much to do, too many good things to do, too many great opportunities, finding it hard to say no, not knowing what to say yes to, not knowing our purpose, being in spiritual bondage, or, looking down!
