Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:62
The Lord Jesus uses the imagery of the plow in the field with great reason! Great care and concentration was needed to insure that the rows would be absolutely straight; to look back would cause the plowman to veer off course, and possibly damaging other rows(paths).
The metaphor of the plow is our walk with the Lord, the rows are our lives/ witness. The Word tells us to "fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith". Do not veer to the left or right... Remember that our own walk will affect others near us, either helping them to "walk straight" or causing them to veer off their God intended course. Today let your row be straight as you plow straight ahead!
