January 22- Isaiah 45:22- “Look unto Me, and be ye saved.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

TRY LOOKING

 

When hope is gone and pain is real, try looking to the Lord.

When troubles come to cloud your way, try looking to the Lord.

 

When dreams lay shattered in the dust, when life’s securities are gone.

When all around seems lost in despair, Christ will NEVER let you down.

 

When dispositions fester sore, when personalities break in two

God will save with His rescuing rope, if you’ll only let Him through.

 

God is love. Sin is wrong. Evil lurks in this weary world.

God is alive in spite of it all, watch for His Peace to unfold.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Salvation comes from God. Journal the places people look for relief, comfort and/or salvation. Jesus died to save us. John 3:16 is the Gospel in a nutshell. Read it. Personalize it. Accept it. Faith is an important ingredient.

His Salvation plus your faith equals eternal life. Write John 3:16 with your name in it.

Now share your faith.

DEAR LORD, Thank you for the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ. Help me to keep looking to you. First, I will look to You for Salvation. I will keep on looking to You to teach me and counsel me through the Bible. Thank you for the fact that You will increase my faith if I ask You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
