Lift up Your Eyes to God



Verses: Psalms 123: 1 - 4



Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.



My thoughts about the verses:

We all have someone that we look to in our times of struggle.  We ask for help and plea for mercy to come to us.  We know that the person will do their best to help us.  We look up to them because of our past experience.

There is only one that we can truly trust in to help us through all of our times of struggle.  God is the one that will be there no matter what the situation is.  God is our strength and our comfort.  God gives us relief in our times of great struggle.

Our God is merciful.  We do not have to carry the burden alone.  When we look to God for help we receive the very help that we need.  We have nothing to fear because God is there on our side.

Think of all the people that do not know about God.  They go through life only with the ability to depend on others.  They look to friends and family to get them out of their problems.  Yet, because they only have humans to turn to they find that they are often let down.  People can only help us so far.  There will come a time that they let us down and in that moment we feel abandoned and afraid.
The main thing that we have to remember is that we need to concentrate on the One on High.  We need to look up into the Heavens and ask God to help us when we are struggling.  We need to ask God for mercy and grace.  God can save us not only from our struggles but also our transgressions.  It is totally up to us to ask God to surround us with mercy and grace.

Prayer:

WE praise you God for always being with us.  We thank you God for never abandoning us.  We thank you God for your mercy and grace.  Help us to never go astray.  Help us to always remember to look up to you when we are in our times of need.  In the name of our Merciful God we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are your willing to ask God in your life?  Have you asked the one Most High to save you from your transgressions?  Have you turned over your life to God?  Are you struggling today?  Is it time to turn away from asking people to save you and ask for God’s mercy?:
