‘Look unto Me and be ye saved.’ – Isaiah 45:22
Today’s passage is really quite interesting if you think about it. God does not say that He will come to us with blessings. He says to look to Him and we are saved. We are to take the initiative to focus on Him not only when we are in need, but also in recognition and thanks for the blessings that He sends in our lives. We are to ALWAYS be looking to Him.
Additionally, Isaiah does not say that when we look to Him, we WILL be saved, but that when we look to Him we ARE saved. There is immediacy to this. Looking to Him is not a part of some elaborate path to salvation, but rather it is all that is required. When we look to God the miracle of the Atonement through Jesus Christ is apparent. When we look to God, His will takes precedent over our own. When we keep our focus on God, all of the other things make sense in His context.
Spend the day in focus on God, both in times of need and of blessing.
