Looking Unto Jesus—
J«sus spent much time in pray-
er. How much more do we need to
pray, was stressed by ReV. L. L
Burkhalter Sunday morning. Tem
ptations pressing, we need streng-
th. Look unto Jesus, source of our
strength. The Psalmist found this
source. I will lift up mine eyes
to the hills, whence cometh my
help. My help cometh from the
Lord which made heaven and
earth. Paul said: Let us lay aside
every weight and the sin which
doth so easily beset us. Looking
unto Jesus, the author and finish-
er of our faith. Giving God our
very best today. Today is all we
have. The Christians job is the
greatest vocation in life. Then
when threatened with death we
need have no fear. God keepeth
watch above His own. Giving illus
trations of lives dedicated to Gods
service, finding life more abund-
ant, and sharing their abundance
with others.
