Hebrews 12:2
 2 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. 

The writer of Hebrews was writing to some dispirited Christians. These people had left the Jewish faith and way to trust and follow Jesus. What they did not realize was how they would be ostracized by friends and disinherited by family. They were basically outcast all because thy chose to follow Jesus. They were tired and they were about ready to give up everything. The writer of Hebrews is reminding them to “LOOK” to Jesus as their source and strength. When its hard.. Look to Jesus! When they are discouraged… look to Jesus!

As this week is upon us, we too can easily become discouraged! Our eyes are easily focused on those things and bring much grief into our life. But today, I want to remind YOU to Look to Jesus and not on what’s ahead of you! Keep your eyes upon Him and not what’s causing you the trials and troubles this week! He will see you through because He is the “author and the finisher” of our faith! Look to Jesus!

You are loved and you have been prayed for! Trent
