KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS

“Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.”

Psalm 25:15 (

King James Version)

Helen Howarth Lemmel was a daughter of a Methodist minister and a vocal music teacher at the Moody Bible Institute. She wrote one of my favorite hymns “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”. The words in this song encourage my heart.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.” If ever we needed to keep our eyes on Jesus, it is now.

We are living in a world that is filled with violence and chaos. There is no way we can make it through this world without Jesus. When satan hurls his vicious arrows of discouragement at us, we need to turn our eyes upon Jesus.

One of the reasons we have so much turmoil in our lives is because we try to defeat satan by ourselves. It has never worked and it will never work. Only Jesus can defeat satan. When satan attacks us, we should immediately turn to Jesus.

What about you? Are you trying to defeat satan in your own strength? If you are, stop it and turn to Jesus and trust Him. Our Scripture verse tells us that He shall pluck our feet out of the net. It is always safe to trust Jesus. He will never fail us.

Heavenly Father, we praise You and give You thanks for Jesus, our Saviour. Thank You that You love us so much that You gave Your own beloved Son to die for us and pay the price for our sins. We love You, Heavenly Father. Amen.
