(James Smith,“The Pastor’s Morning Visit”)
“Look unto Me!”Isaiah 45:22
A new morning opens upon us -- and we are still exposed... to sorrow,to Satan, and
to disappointment! Sin lives in us -- and a thousand things are ready to distress us!
But our God says,“Look unto Me!”
Look unto Me... as the source of happiness, as the giver of grace, as your Friend!
Look unto Me... in every trial, for all you need, and in every circumstance.
Look unto Me TODAY, I have blessings to bestow! I am waiting to be gracious to you!
Believe that I am deeply interested in your present and eternal welfare!
Believe that I will perform -- all I have promised!
Believe that I am with you -- on purpose to bless you! I cannot be unconcerned about
anything that effects you! I pledge Myself to make all things work together for your
eternal good.
You have looked to SELF, and to others, in times past -- and you have only met with
trouble and disappointment!
Now look unto Me ALONE!
Look unto Me FOR ALL!
“Look unto Me!”

their anthem. Gary’s message,
“Reflexes, Response to Dreams”
