Look to God for Him to Sustain Us

Psalm 123

 

I lift up my eyes to you,

To you whose throne is in

Heaven.

 

The psalmist looks to God who rules over heaven. We must do the same.

 

As the eyes of slaves look to the

Hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maid look to the

Hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the LORD, our

God,

Til he shows us his mercy.

 

The writer tells us we must look to God for instruction and guidance until He answers our pleas.

Have mercy on us, O LORD, have

Mercy on us,

For we have endured much

Contempt.

 

He begs God for His mercy. We will have times when we have to plead for His love and grace to cover us especially when we receive treatment that undermines us. 

 

                                                            We have endured much ridicule

                          From the proud,

              Much contempt from the arrogant.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we receive forms of persecution—sometimes mild, other times not. We learn to rely on the LORD to sustain us.

  1. I am concerned that as the days go by the persecution and ridicule of Christians is going to get worse and worse. We must be strong in our faith and stay tuned into God's voice so we can drown out the voices of evil ones trying to hurt us. STay in God's Word, and He will keep us in the right path.

    1. Pam: We have to stay in God's Word and live out those words for others to see. My prayer is the others will see God in me. God has brought me so far from what I was that I don't ever want to let Him down by going back to who I was. Peace and blessings.
