Over The Shoulder

Fix your thoughts...Philippians 4:8

Fixation renders removal of a position or condition that makes trouble greater than distant. To be in a fix more or less defines a dilemma against change. Either way, fixing is a: to become state. You or what you lay hold of is about to become a different arrangement. This action, however, in the sheep’s life must be an outcome or influence of and from the Sheppard. Why? So that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ. (1) Yes, the Great Sheppard of the sheep is into this correcting, setting, establishing, and fastening up business. It is only by His fixing us, laying hold of our hearts and minds, that we can in turn fix our thoughts, let alone make repairs to any area of our lives. The Lord knows who to fix and how to fix. The trio of the Father’s will, the Son’s words, and the Spirit’s works are all repair shop antidotes counteracting the effects of poison and disease. Fixing is the only way to be near Him. And Jehovah knows who are His because the one He fixes He brings near to him (Numbers 16:5). Is there any other remedy to something needed or wanted than the supplication of a definite fix from a definite Father. The attention we get and He gives now prepares us for the consistent stability of what comes later; the state of being where nothing needs or has to be fixed. Heaven and your hope of glory are so assembled that even though the distance is great now, Christ’s fix preserves our bearings on a different landmark; reconditioned and restored to what cannot be destroyed and what will no longer need fixed. Hallelujah and Amen.
