LOOK TO THE LORD

Man was created with two eyes, so that with one he may see God's greatness, and with the other his own lowliness. -Samuel Y. Agnon

Simeon said in Luke 2:30, “For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,”

When you catch a glimpse of who Jesus is and what He has done, it could be the beginning of something wonderful. But many people have seen Jesus. Many people have heard Him speak through His Word. Many people have felt the tug of the Holy Spirt. But many people have ignored and rejected what they have seen. Oh that men, women, boys, and girls would see Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR YOU!

Stop playing hide and seek with the Lord!

            Luke 19:10, For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Growing up, there wasn’t anything like a good game of hide and seek. Friends or families got together but the kids wouldn’t be gathered around the TV or some silly video game. They would be outside jumping in mud puddles, chasing butterflies, or torturing the neighbor’s cat. When night time fell, it was like we were transformed into another world. We would be fighting spider webs, gnats, and bats! Sometimes I won at the game but more times than not, I lost.

            Hey friend, the Lord is looking for some good men and women to follow Him but He ain’t playing no hide and seek! He is looking for some who will love their families more than their next night on the town. He’s looking for some who will lead their families in the Lord. He’s looking for some who will lift their families before the Lord in prayer. He’s not going to play hide and seek with you either. He doesn’t have to. He knows you better than Santa Claus! Will you stand up and be counted for the Lord?

LOOK AHEAD, BEATS LOOKING BEHIND

            Quit looking behind you, you can’t do anything about it!

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

            Get your eyes fixed on Jesus and you will not have to worry what happened in your past! As a matter of fact, if your eyes are truly fixed on Him, you will not have to worry about your future either!
