DO WE

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

Isaiah 26:3
King James Version

Do we keep our eyes on Jesus? I think there are times when we cause our own unhappiness because we think and talk about everything but Jesus. The newspapers, the radio, the television and all other places where we hear the news reports violence, politics and all other things that taie our eyes off Jesus. It's no wonder we get discouraged.

Helen H. Lemmel wrote an inspiring hymn "TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS". If we would do what we sing in this hymn, we wouldn't have as many problems and heartaches.

"O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s a light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace."

Not only do we have more heartache because we don't keep our eyes on Jesus, we hurt Him. It is time we stop hurting our Saviour and start making Him happy.
