Psalm 123
Psalm 123
I lift up my eyes to you,
to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he shows us his mercy.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end
of ridicule from the arrogant,
of contempt from the proud.
He is the King of Glory. He is a mighty God that sits enthroned on High. He has made this universe and everything within it. He has authored every moment and sees the beginning, the middle and the end.
And yet, He came down from on high and sought to be our Savior. He showed us mercy when we were far from deserving. He demonstrated His immense love for us when He came to this earth as the Son of God and Son of man.
No matter what we face in this life, let us lift our eyes to Him. Let us turn our gaze to the King of Glory, to our Mighty and Powerful God.
Let us never forget the mercy He has shown us. Let us be transformed by His amazing grace. Let us be restored by His power.
And let us never, ever forget the endless love of our mighty God that moved heaven and earth to die for us. Surely, He will continue to watch over us. Surely we can endure all things through Christ who strengthens us (Phillipians 4:13).
We can withstand anything with Him by our side. We can face any hardship because He is with us. He has fought for us and will continue to do so. He is merciful and will restore us and make us new when we seek Him with all of our hearts.
Let us cling to our powerful God. Let us rest in His glory. Let us abide in His mercy and be transformed. Let us look to Him always.
For when we look to Him, certainly we will find peace and mercy in His gaze.
