Psalm 123:1 Unto Thee Lift I Mine Eyes

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

Psalm 123:1 (KJV)  A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 

The lifting up of the eyes is the prayer posture of the saints without hassle. The lifting of the eyes is a gesture of worship as the pilgrims approach God. It is an act of acknowledging God, a most wonderful prayer posture of a trusting heart.

This word “to lift” is the same word “to carry”. To give your troubles to the LORD for He will help you carry them. Our Lord Jesus says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

The lifting up of the eyes is the light yoke of the Christian. Every trouble that we have we can bring to our LORD. “I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying”. (Psalm 70:5)

The dwelling place of God in the heavenlies is the control center of the universe. Binding decisions are made there according to the goodwill of God. All praise the thanks to Him. Amen.
