Isaiah 45:22

Do we expect God to come to us with His blessings and save us? He says, “Look to Me, and be saved . . . .” The greatest difficulty spiritually is to concentrate on God, and His blessings are what make it so difficult. Troubles almost always make us look to God, but His blessings tend to divert our attention elsewhere. The basic lesson of the Sermon on the Mount is to narrow all your interests until your mind, heart, and body are focused on Jesus Christ. “Look to Me . . . .”

Many of us have a mental picture of what a Christian should be, and looking at this image in other Christians’ lives becomes a hindrance to our focusing on God. This is not salvation— it is not simple enough. He says, in effect, “Look to Me and you are saved,” not “You will be saved someday.” We will find what we are looking for if we will concentrate on Him. We get distracted from God and irritable with Him while He continues to say to us, “Look to Me, and be saved . . . .” Our difficulties, our trials, and our worries about tomorrow all vanish when we look to God.

Wake yourself up and look to God. Build your hope on Him. No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you, be determined to push them aside and look to Him. “Look to Me . . . .” Salvation is yours the moment you look. - Chambers

Oh, yes, "what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" and 36:5 "Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies."

I watched Ben Stein's movie "Expelled" last week and was amazed at how a scientist expressed the complexity that is one living cell, he compared a it to a galaxy.

I find this all so comforting and encouraging. God is so creative, look to Him!

It's so mind blowing, humbling, and He is so much greater than this physical stuff. No wonder people fall on their faces in the Word.
