地极的人都当仰望我，就必得救。（赛45：22）


我们是否指望神带着许多祝福来拯救我们？祂说：“仰望我，就必得救。”


属灵生命上最难做到的，就是专心一意仰望神，这可是出于祂的祝福。因为困难使我们仰望神，祝福却使我们望到别处去。


登山宝训的精意，其实是：把你所有的注意力收窄，直到你的心志、心灵与身体，完全集中在主耶稣身上——仰望祂。


不少人对做基督徒存一固定模式，就是其他圣徒的榜样，成了我们集中在神身上的障碍。这样是不会得救的，那太复杂了。


“仰望我”不是“将会得救”，而是“就必得救”。我们期盼的东西，只要集中在祂身上，就必得着。但我们对神往往心不在焉，或向神怨叹愤懑，可是祂却一直在对我们说：“仰望我就得救。”


一切困难试炼，如这个暑假我有什么计划，明天又该作什么？这些萦回在脑际的问题，一经仰望神，都会得着解决了。


醒来吧，仰望神。把盼望建筑在神身上，不论有多少件事情压着你，只管放下它们，一心一意望着祂。


“仰望我”，必得救，就在你望的一刹那。

祈祷


主啊，我仰望祢。我何其了解“在我里面没有良善”；然而，祢的恩典是何等奇妙，我如今竟发现自己的内心，除了祢的荣耀以外，再别无他求。

Am I Looking To God?


Look to Me, and be saved… —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.
