Look Unto Jesus

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…” — Hebrews 12:2

Gentlemen, what you look at consistently will shape how you live daily. If your eyes stay fixed on problems, you will become discouraged. If your focus stays on people, you will become frustrated. But when you look unto Jesus, you find strength to continue.

He is the “author” of your faith — the One who began the work in you. And He is the “finisher” — the One who will faithfully complete what He started.

Jesus faced opposition, continued forward with unwavering purpose, and endured the cross. - actually He gained the victory over death, hell, and the grave! When you grow weary, remember that your Saviour has already walked the path of suffering and victory before you.

So in the coming days:
Look above your circumstances.
Look beyond your discouragements.
Look steadily unto Jesus.

A focused faith produces a faithful life.

Growth Point:
When discouragement or distraction comes, pause and intentionally refocus your heart on Christ by reading a Gospel passage and spending a few moments in prayerful worship.
