January 1 Look
unto to me. Isaiah 45:22
A New Year’s
morning opens up on us, and we are still exposed to the sorrow, Satan, and
disappointment; sin lives in us; and a thousand things are ready to distress us;
but our God
says “Look unto me.”
Look unto me as the source of happiness, the giver of
grace, and your friend.
Look unto me in every trial, for all you want, and in
every place.
Look unto me TODAY. I have blessings to bestow. I am waiting
to be gracious.
I am your Father in Jesus. Believe that I am deeply interested in
your present and eternal welfare; that all I have promised, I will perform;
that I am with you, purposely to bless you.
I cannot be
unconcerned about anything that affects you; and I pledge myself to make all
things work together for your good.
You have looked to self, to others, in times
past; but you have only met with trouble and disappointment; now look unto me
alone, to me for all.
Lift up the
eyes and the heart to me today, and every day throughout the year and walk before
me in peace and holiness.
Prove me
hereby, if I will not thus make you holy, useful and happy; try me, and find my
word of promise true, true to the very letter.
Look
to Him, ‘till His mighty love
Thy ev’ry thought control;
Its
vast constraining influence prove,
O’er
body, spirit, soul.
