GOD IS EVER LOOKING, SEEKING FAITHFUL MEN FOR HIS KINGDOM. The Lord will look to the poor in spirit, the humble, the man who trembles at His word, who lies low in self-abasement at His throne, who mourns over his follies and his faults. He will look to the one who fears to offend a God so good, so holy, so great, the man who looks to Jesus for life, peace, and everlasting salvation. To such the Lord will look. He will observe them, welcome them, and manifest His approval of them. He will look and love, look and listen to their prayers, look and accept their persons and services, look and honour them. He will visit them as His friends, dwell with them as His children, own them as His jewels, and use them as instruments for His glory. He will look upon them and strengthen them as He did Gideon; look, and restore them as He did Peter; look, and so lift up the light of His countenance upon them, and give them peace. My soul, hast thou been looking to the Lord today? Hast thou looked unto Him as thy Father? If so, doubtless He has been looking upon thee with a Father's love. He is now looking upon thee with approval. Sweet thought! The look of God our Father is more than wealth, more than honour. Retire to rest this night with the thought, Jehovah is looking upon me with love.

For Meditation:
He proves His love, displays His grace,
Through the redemption of His Son;
He turns my feet from sinful ways,
And pardons wrongs my hands have done.
