with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin

set before us,

What can man give to you? Can man keep you alive? Man cannot even heal himself. If he gives you money, can he give you prosperity? Rather than run after man, spend time chasing God. God can turn your life and that of your generation around forever. You don’t need an appointment to see God; He is everywhere and willing to help you.
A life that looks to Jesus is a life of
peace, joy and love. A person who looks to Jesus would not depend on any man to
live; his future is secured in Jesus Christ.

When we look up to Jesus; He will perfect

“I will life up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and
earth.”

Action Point
Never shift your gaze off Jesus no
matter what comes your way.
