"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." 
Hebrews 12:2

Have you ever thought about what it means to "look to Jesus", to have all of our needs met?  Well, let's say I borrow ten thousand dollars from Dan, a friend of mine, but then I discover that I can't pay it back.  Dan is onto me and says, "If you don't pay it back, I'm going to foreclose on you."  So I go to another friend, Tom, and tell him about my dire situation and ask for his help.  Tom says, "That's alright Carl, look to me."  Notice that Tom didn't say, "Look at me."  He said "Look to me."  In other words, "I'll handle it."  That's what the Bible means when it says "look unto Jesus."  It means look to Him for whatever you need.  Who is looking to you to have their needs met today?  Are you then looking to God or are you trying to do it on your own?
