With your eyes on God

Sunday June 9th, Psalm 123: 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 his mercy. It is good to have focus in life. Without knowing where you are going, it is hard to know what to do along the way. Through grace, we know were we are going, we are returning to our loving creator. Through prayer, worship and Bible study, we know what to do along the way; love God and love others. When you take our eyes, which is another way of saying your life long focus, off God, you lose your way. With your eyes on God, life, which has been given to you as a gift, comes into focus.
