To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he has mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. (Psalm 123, NRSV)
Where are you looking?
Do you look for things that are not there?
Things that will not help?
We always seem to be looking for the thing that will make our lives easy.
But you know we are not promised an easy life. We are not promised a road with no sorrow.
We are promised that when we look for our master He will be there.
We are promised when we are in need His hand will be there for us.
We are promised to have a guide in the darkness, not the removal of it.
We are ones who need to turn our eyes up and look for our master, our Lord and know that He is always there!
