LOOK TO ME AND BE SAVED

Have you ever noticed how the bird lives?

This little creature goes from day to day,
never storing up food for the next day. They
gather the food for that one moment and make
sure their nest is safe for the time being.
Singing merrily as they do so.  Thus filling
our lives with joy, just listening to the melodic
sound.  Content just being what God created
them to be. 

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow 

not, neither do they reap, nor gather 

into barns; yet your heavenly Father 

feedeth them. Are ye not much better 

than they?  Which of you by taking 

thought can add one cubit unto his 

stature?  And why take ye thought 

for raiment? Consider the lilies of 

the field, how they grow; they toil 

not, neither do they spin:  And yet I 

say unto you, That even Solomon in 

all his glory was not arrayed like 

one of these.

Matthew 6:26-29

If we could only learn to trust our

heavenly father to meet our needs 

as he does for the birds of the fields. 

If we could learn to focus on what is 

truly important instead of focusing on

superficial unimportant things.  Doing

so, might create a melody in our own 

hearts that would overflow into the 

lives of people around us.   

Instead, we focus so much on the 

unimportant issues in life, that we 

tend to leave out the important issues;

the very things God created us to do 

and be.  In doing so, we find our

joy has also been drained away

by the very thing we thought would

bring us contentment.

Maybe it's time to change our focus and 

look to the one who created us in His very

image to perform great and mighty things

for the kingdom of God. 

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the

ends of the earth: for I am God and 

there is none else.

Isaiah 45:22
