[Sons to Glory!]

This is from today's, "The supplied Life." I was impressed, and reminded once again that our one and only need is to look to Jesus! Not this (feelings), that (knowledge) or the other thing --> just Him!

But we see Jesus February 19th

"You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that
He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put
under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. But
we see Jesus." HEBREWS 2:8-9

There are two things to take note of in these verses: first, the fact
that "we do not yet see all things put under him"; and second,
"but we see Jesus. " These two things are going on simultaneously.
This means that we may see many things in us that are not yet
subjected to Him - things that are not under His feet, under His
ruling. But even in such an unfinished state, we still see Jesus! Our
heart can be positioned and focused on Christ, despite the existence
of the unsubjected things. Do not be distracted by what you see in
yourself. Keep your eyes upon Jesus and trust Him to subdue every
unruly thing.

Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:16, "Nevertheless when the heart
shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away" (KJV). Then he
continues in verse 18, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding and
reflecting as in a mirror the glory of the Lord ... " These verses show
us that to behold the Lord with an unveiled face, we need a turned
heart, a heart positioned toward the Lord. Our heart has been turned
in another direction, away from the Lord, and we need to turn it
toward the Lord. Our heart may be distracted by many things, but
our one and only need is to turn it toward the Lord.

Our tendency is to have our heart turned toward our problems,
our defeated condition, or what we see in ourselves that is still not
subdued by the Lord. But the most important thing in spending time
with the Lord is to get our eyes off ourselves and onto Him.
Regardless of how we feel or what we see in ourselves, we still need
to keep our heart focused on the Lord.
