A very precious thought is contained in Heb. 12:I. The thought is "looking away from all else unto " Jesus." What a remedy for discouragement. What a balm to the wretched. What a source of strength to the weak. What a relief to the soul oppressed by the miserable state of affairs all around us. When burdens bear heavy; when things languish; when the arid atmosphere of indifference distresses; when we long to leave this scene of strife and conflict, how soothing and reviving it is to look away from all this unto Jesus, and there feast our souls and feel the refreshing waters of life revive our lagging steps. What a change occurs from beholding Him to the exclusion of all else!
