Look Onto the Lord

Scripture Numbers 21: [9] So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Observation: This is a prophecy about Jesus when He was crucified. We are all sick with sin and are destined to die with no hope, but Jesus died for our sins and all we have to do is look upon Him and receive Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus is our only hope we have the cure for our sin bitten life.

Application: I need to look to my Lord every day for guidance and direction for my life. I’m destined to die, but first I need to know how to live the life that would honor my Lord. If I stay focused on Him I won’t be distracted by sin and can fulfill the purpose that I’m here for.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for the love you have for me and the sacrifice you made. I want to live in a way that glorifies you, but I need to be able to see you and to know what you want of me. I can’t wait to be with you, show me what to do so that I may be welcomed with open arms.
