The old watch ads came with this slogan: “Timex – takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” The words of the Apostle Paul in II Corinthians 4 might be summed up: “Christians – they might take a licking, but they keep on ticking.” Don’t give up! Be always steadfast.

We come to the final verse of II Corinthians 4 and find the key to being steadfast. “Fix Your Eyes!” It’s how we ought to run the race of life. It’s how we get to the finish line. “Keep Your Focus.”
