fixing and keeping our eyes on Him,
the leader and champion, who initiates and is the source
of our faith,
making it complete,
giving the first incentive for our belief,
finishing and bringing it to maturity and perfection.
He endures the cross, ignoring and disregarding the
shame.
Because He knew that later on of the joy awaiting Him,
And that He would be glad He did.
Now He is seated in the place of honor, at the right side
of God’s throne."
Hebrews 12:2 (Amp, Common Eng, Contempt Eng, NLT)

Yes, it is that simple. The problem with us is that we tend to look unto ourselves. But we cannot save or deliver ourselves. Even the apostle Paul struggled when he depended on his self-effort. That is why he said, “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” (Romans 7:19) It was only when Paul looked away from himself and unto Jesus that he received his deliverance. (Romans 7:24–25)
My friend, if you have been looking unto yourself, it is time to start looking unto Jesus. Look unto Him, the author and finisher of your faith. And soon, you will be looking at your healing and provision!
