Esther 3:1-4:17; Zechariah 13:7-14:21; Revelation 19:11-20:6

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2

Driving home from my grandparents’ home one winter evening, we began to look up through the sunroof at the night sky. My wife explained to the children that somewhere beyond the twinkling stars, was the home of the Lord Jesus. Gazing steadfastly upwards, my three year old son announced, “Let’s just keep looking up till we see Him.” Whatever circumstances or situation facing you today, I encourage you to do just that—keep looking up until you see Him. —Matthew Butler

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace. —Helen Howarth Cemmel
