To dig a straight furrow, the plowman needs to keep his eyes on a fixed point ahead of him. That keeps him on a true course. If, however, he happens to look back to see where he has been, his chances of straying are increased. The results are crooked and irregular furrows ...

on eternal life and the joy of salvation
we assuredly will obtain it. ~ Howard W. Hunter
