LOOK!!!

Isaiah 45:22, "Look unto me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."
My friends, "Look unto God!" Look to the one who died upon that cross at calvary, and be saved. Direct you gaze to the Majesty of Heaven and see His indescribable glory. This King of kings, this Lord of lords, come down to sinful earth to die for you, LOOK! and be saved. All you must do is look! We sit in a circle with Christ in the middle, and all that we must do for salvation to take full hold, is gaze upon him. But we seem more content to stare at the hideous ceiling than look at the glory of God. He is a pure diamond before us all, and all we must do is look, instead we take up our shovels and walk the other direction to go and dig up a small ugly chunk of coal. We are so consumed by our quest for the fleeting that we never look at Christ! All that must be done is an impulse to our eyes that we may see, but we think it better to cause the whole body to move, and work, all the while moving and working farther from God so that we never take in the scope of His glorious Majesty. I cannot say it enough LOOK! JUST LOOK! Throw your cares upon Him that he may show you His might, give him all that is yours to give that he may show you his providence. Look not to the empty and forsaken things of this world, were moth and rust doth corrupt, but to the whole lasting things of Christ. Glimpse the one that says, "Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is no other." Isaiah 45:18
