LIFT UP YOUR EYES

 

 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. (Psalm 121: 1-3)

King David had come to the realization that the position from where his help come from was not from under him but clearly above him. He had realized that if he was going to go far he needed to keep his eyes fixed above. Notice he said he was lifting his eyes. It requires a level of effort and to keep your head up. But the discomfort of keeping his eyes up was nothing compared to the benefit he was deriving- which was the help he needed to make a head way in life. Often times I wonder how far some people think they can go on their own?

David’s help came from the Lord and one thing that stood out was the fact that “this Lord” happened to be the maker of heaven and earth. Let me ask you who is helping you currently? David recognized the fact that his success was guaranteed because he was connected to the maker of heaven and earth. The One that made heaven and earth has a full understanding of the makeup of the heavens and the earth. And if that is the case then nothing can take our God by surprise or confound him because he is the source and sustainer.

 
The other sweet fact is that our God who is the maker of heaven and earth is also one who will not allow your feet or my feet to be moved. As long you want to take a stand, the Lord will keep you stable. No external force is allowed to move you against your will. Our God does not slumber. No external force can take our God unawares. My heavenly Father has his eyes on me and never loses concentration. I think you should be shouting a loud hallelujah considering the awesomeness of our God. So as you go about your business of the day, rejoice that God is watching over you.
