Looking to God
By Pastor Jerry A. Burns
There are moments when our eyes become fixed on everything that is wrong. We look at the problem, the uncertainty, the pressure, and the things we cannot control. The longer we stare at them, the heavier our hearts become.
David reminds us that those who looked unto the Lord were “lightened.” Their circumstances may not have changed immediately, but something changed within them. Fear gave way to faith. Shame gave way to hope. Darkness gave way to light.
God never asks us to have all the answers. He simply asks us to look to Him. He is greater than the trial before us, stronger than the fear within us, and faithful in every season of life.
Today, turn your eyes away from what you cannot fix and look to the One who holds everything in His hands.
When worry begins to rise, pause and deliberately turn your thoughts toward God. Remember His promises, His power, and His past faithfulness.
"Who is among you that feareth the LORD, That obeyeth the voice of his servant, That walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD, And stay upon his God." — Isaiah 50:10

Trusting God With Tomorrow (Pt. 3)
In this final part of the message, “Trusting God with Tomorrow,” we are brought face to face with a powerful truth from Scripture—while we often plan our days and assume the future, the Bible teaches us that life is fragile, uncertain, and completely in God’s hands. As James reminds us, our life is “even a vapour” that appears for a little time and then vanishes away . The issue is not planning, but planning without God—living as though we are in control of what only God knows.
This message walks through the heart of biblical trust: having a proper perspective of tomorrow, a humble posture before God today, and a surrendered plan that says, “If the Lord will.” Whether facing uncertainty, fear, or the illusion of control, we are called to draw near to God, rest in His care, and trust that His will is good, even when tomorrow is unknown. Because Christ has risen, our future is secure—not in our plans, but in His perfect hands.
