FAITH CAPSULE: God is faithful not to forsake those who look up to Him.
Psalm 121, 123
What you devote your attention to will attend to you. If it is God you devote attention to you will get a direct attention that is beyond and above all that can derail you. The Psalmist directed his attention to looking up to God. It is written, (Psalm 121:1-2) “I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1-2) If you have been lifting your eyes to the one that is above without any expectation there, will be no manifestation. Lifting up without any expectation is the evidence of religion. God is faithful not to forsake His own.
It is written, “Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us.” (Psalm 123:1-2) Who are you lifting up your eyes to? Many have the Word memorized for the purpose of uplifting self or others when need requires. Lifting up eyes is not necessarily tilting head up to the sky. One can lift up eyes just by meditating the word in one’s heart.
However, memorization without mediation will not produce results. Meditation is what will allow a believer to observe, and live according to the Word of God. Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Take the Word from above seriously, John 3:31 encourage all that will listen by stating, “He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.” (John 3:31-33) Evidently, looking up unto Him will cost nothing but commitment. He that is above has all power over all and His name is above every other name. Looking up unto God is not labor, but favor for anyone that has been consistent and not wait until a problem calls for looking up to Him. If making your looking up to be a constant and consistent engagement, God who has never denied Himself, will look down to lift you up. He is a faithful God.
Prayer for today: Ask for his mercy that will deny every agenda of wicked that is set against you.
