“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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2
What does it mean to “look to Jesus” to have all of our needs met?
Well, let’s say you borrow ten thousand dollars from Dan, a friend of yours,
but then you discover that you can’t pay it back.
Dan is on to you and says,
“If you don’t pay it back, I’m going to foreclose on you.”
So you go over to another friend, Tom,
and tell him about your dire situation and ask for his help.
Tom says,
“That’s alright, look to me.”
Notice that he didn’t say, “Look AT me.”
He said, “Look TO me.”
In other words, “I’ll handle it.”
That’s what the Bible means when it says “look to Jesus.”
It means look unto Him for whatever you need.
Who is looking to you to have their needs met today?
Are you, then, looking to God or are you trying to do it on your own?
