Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                             The Outward, Upward Look

"Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."
                                                                                        ~ Isaiah 45:22

  "This is a promise of promises. It lies at the foundation of our spiritual life. How simple is the direction! "Look to Me." We have looked elsewhere long enough; it is time to look to Him who invites our expectation and promises to give us His salvation.
  Only a look! Will we not look at once? We are to bring nothing in ourselves but to look upward to God. A look requires no preparation, no violent effort. It needs neither wit nor wisdom, wealth nor strength. All that we need is in the Lord, and if we look to Him for everything, that everything shall be ours, and we shall be saved.
  Come, look hither! As from the furthest regions men may see the sun and enjoy his light, so you who lie in death's borders at the very gates of hell may by a look receive the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
