Lift up my eyes

To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. (Psalm 123:1-4 ESV)

I find great comfort in knowing that through out history, men and women have called on The Lord, looked to Him for mercy, guidance, and protection.  There is something comforting about this, perhaps it is the unchanging, steadfastness of God.  He is our rock, let us lift our eyes to Him and rejoice in His mercy.
