“A young man once found a five-dollar bill on the street,” says William Feather, a writer. “From that time on he never lifted his eyes when walking. In the course of years he accumulated 59,516 buttons, 54,172 pins, a bent back and a miserly disposition. He lost the glory of the sunlight, the shining of the stars, the smiles of friends, the blossoms in the spring, the blue skies and the entire joy of living.”
This man is not the only one who has suffered loss because of looking down. How many have looked to this earth for satisfaction, pleasure, wealth and happiness and have never in their lifetime looked up to God for the good things He gives! How many have laid up treasure on earth and have neglected the salvation of their never-dying soul! How many have meant to be saved tomorrow or on their deathbed and have gone into eternity without knowing the Saviour!
The most important step one can take in life is the step of looking to God by faith and accepting His Son as Saviour.
When you look to Christ for salvation you will not be disappointed; He will give abundantly more than you can ask or think.
