Lift Your Eyes

Scripture

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
(Psalm 121:1–2, ESV)

Word

What are you looking at today? Not in the natural, but in the spiritual. Are there challenges in your life to overcome? Don’t just look at your problems day in and day out. Lift up your eyes and look toward heaven.

People naturally move in the direction that their eyes are looking. If you are always looking at your problems — meditating on them, feeling sorry for yourself, telling everybody about them — you will become consumed by them. But when you look up, your life will start to move up. When you keep your eyes on Jesus, it shows your faith and expectancy.

Today, decide to focus on the goodness of our God. Lift your eyes and heart to Him. When you do, He promises that your help will come, and you will move forward into the victorious life He has in store for you.

Prayer

“Father, today I choose to lift my eyes to You. I look to You for You are my help. Thank You for showing me Your redemption and deliverance. I bless You today in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
