Vital signs- Friday, March 3rd, 2023

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 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 has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Some people don’t have faith because they have their eyes on everything other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t look at others; look to Jesus. Don’t look at yourself; look to Jesus. Don’t look at circumstances; look to Jesus. Don’t look at Satan; look to Jesus. Look away from everything else. That’s literally what the Greek word means when it says, “Looking unto Jesus.” It literally means, “Looking away from everything else and looking to Jesus.” Faith is “Forsaking all, I trust Him.” The object of your faith must be God. Your faith is no better than its object.

Don’t put faith in faith; put faith in Jesus.

Jesus never said, “Look at your look.” He says, “Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth!” (Isaiah 45:22). Don’t look at your look, and don’t put faith in faith—put faith in Jesus. Faith in faith is positive thinking. Faith in Jesus is salvation.

• Have you ever doubted your faith? What was that like?

• What is the difference between putting your faith in faith and putting your faith in Jesus?

Make

a list of things that you may be looking to instead of Jesus. Repent and ask Jesus to help you look to Him completely.

Pray with me-

Father in Jesus name, empower us today to look only to you. When temptation comes, help us to look to you .when distraction come help us to look to you.

You alone are worthy of the glory, honor, and praise,Therefore, we look only to you in Jesus name.
