WORD FOR THE WEEK

I lift up my eyes to you, 

to you whose throne is in heaven. 

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, 

till he shows us mercy. 

Psalm 123:1-2

"This verse is a description of entire reliance upon God. Just as the eyes of the servant are riveted on his master, so our eyes are up unto God...Spiritual leakage begins when we cease to lift up our eyes unto Him."

 ~Oswald Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest
