Looking To Jesus

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God - Hebrews 12:1,2.

Look to Jesus - For mercy

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us - Psalm 123:2.

Look to Jesus - For rest and peace 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest - Matthew 11:28. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world - John 16:33.

Look to Jesus - For help

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth - Psalm 121:1,2. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted - Hebrews 2:18. 

Look to Jesus - For light

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed - Psalm 34:5.

Look to Jesus - For salvation

Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! - Isaiah 45:22.   

                                                                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us look to You for everything and run our race with endurance. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
