Are You Focusing on the Reward?
THE disease progresses slowly. Initially, it reduces a person’s peripheral vision. Left untreated, it can spread toward the center of vision. Ultimately, it can cause complete loss of sight. What is it? Glaucoma—a leading cause of blindness.
Just as we can lose literal eyesight slowly and insidiously, we can lose an even more precious form of sight—our spiritual vision. Therefore, it is vital to keep spiritual matters in sharp focus in the center of our field of vision.

How to Sharpen Our Spiritual Focus
Our physical eyes cannot focus on two things at the same time. The same is true of our spiritual vision. Focusing on things of the present system will surely put God’s promised new world somewhat out of focus in our minds. In time, this blurred, peripheral image may lose its appeal and simply disappear from view. What a tragedy that would be! (Luke 21:34) How important, therefore, that we keep a ‘simple eye’—one that stays focused on God’s Kingdom and the reward of everlasting life!—Matthew 6:22.
