What Can a Greyhound Teach You About Keeping Your Eyes on What Matters?

Over the next few weeks, I want to introduce you to one of my new favorite creatures, the greyhound. Now, before you picture a bus hurtling down the motorway, let me paint you a different picture. The greyhound is a dog breed unlike any other. They are elegant, ancient, and surprisingly full of spiritual wisdom. (Yes, I said spiritual wisdom. Just trust me on this one.)

This slender, noble dog has been around since the days of the pharaohs. In fact, greyhounds are believed to be among the oldest breeds on earth, with references dating back to ancient Egypt. This week, we are going to look at three remarkable characteristics of this dog that I believe the Lord wants to use to teach us something. Today, we begin with the one that may be the most convicting of all.

The greyhound has extraordinary eyesight, arguably the best of any dog breed.

The Year to Come: Fixing Our Eyes

Today is the final day of the year. We started this month with anticipation, celebrated the birth, and reflected on the promise. Now, as one year closes and another opens, our final devotion must focus on carrying the Christ-centered message forward.

The Christmas story is the beginning of God's redemption plan, but it is not the end. The manger leads to the ministry, the miracles, the cross, and the empty tomb.

Our vision for the new year must be shaped by the ultimate destination of the Christ-child: the triumphant King. The best way to enter a new season is to keep Christ squarely in our field of vision.
