OUR EYES LOOK TO YOU, LORD
Passage: Psalm 123:1~4
Key verse: 2
The psalmist looks to God who is enthroned in heaven. He looks to the hand of God the same way a slave or servant looks to their master’s hand for provision, direction, and action. The Master is in the place of power and provision. God is our Provider, Director, and Defender.
The psalmist represents God’s people praying for mercy. Arrogant, proud people are treating them with contempt and ridicule. God’s faithful people are often criticized and ridiculed by worldly unbelievers who mock their faith and their devotion to God. Yet the psalmist waits with expectation for God’s help and mercy. Are you in a difficult situation? Ask and wait for God’s mercy.
Prayer: LORD, you are my Provider, Counselor, and Protector. I look to you for your mercy and help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
One Word: Look to the LORD for mercy and help
