Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters . . . , so our eyes look to the Lord our God . . . —Psalm 123:2
A servant looks to his master’s hand for many things: direction, substance, correction; so should we look to the Lord our God. Like a servant we are unable to direct, sustain and make good use of our lives without our Master.
But notice this about the verse, we are to look to Lord our God completely, not just at his hand like the servant does. We get more from God than the servant gets from the Master. We get every thing. We get love and eternal life. His claim on us is greater than a master’s. He made us. He sacrificed for us. He is our everything.
To look anywhere else is folly. In the words of the hymn:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim.
In the light of His glory and Grace.
Be blessed.
