Plow On

"Jesus answered him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow
  and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”  Luke 9:62

This verse from today's reading makes me think. 
While I've set my hand to the plow it seems I keep looking back at the crooked rows and wondering why they are not straight.  When all the while I know the only way to make straight rows is to look forward.  

Dear lord Jesus
Help me keep my eyes on you
I know this is the thing to do
'cause every time I look away
It seems that things go astray. 

I must not focus on the past
I can not undo mistakes...Alas
You will take me where I'm at
And for this I tip my hat. 

So I plow on...straight ahead 
And let the dead bury their dead
With you I can handle the strife
You are the way, the truth, the life.
Amen.
