“Eyes That See”

Psalm 123:1
Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens. (NKJ)

As finite human beings we naturally look beyond ourselves for something or someone we can look up to—something or someone that can give us hope while living in these uncertain times that are undoubtedly getting more difficult by the day. Those of us who have been blessed with spiritual eyes should be utterly grateful to the Lord (Colossians 2:7), because there are billions of spiritually blind people in this world that cannot see our God (Ephesians 4:17, 18). There are so many lost souls in this darkened world who, because of ignorance or pride, are more inclined to look downward at the hopelessness of it all, or inward for some hidden inner strength to survive, or anywhere else they can rather than looking to the LORD our God; the only One who knows the Way out of the darkness that consumes our world. You may not see God the Savior at first glance (much like I and many others have done), but with persistent gazing into the heavenly realms, searching for that one piece of hope that can make sense of it all and bring you comfort and peace, God will allow your spiritual eyes to begin to focus more clearly so that you can see the Creator of the universe, our God and Savior, Christ Jesus —the only One who is able to rescue you from the hopelessness we all face without God in our lives. Our God is very real, my friends, and He resides in one place, and that place is in Heaven. How blessed we are that our God is always Home with His door opened wide. The One that is never out on a journey, but always close at hand. He is forever there where you can find Him, always looking your way and longing for your glance—

Prayer is but the burden of a sigh,
The shedding of a tear,
And the upward glance of an eye
When no one but God is near.

He is your Sovereign Keeper, the One who never sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121: 3, 5); the forever Watchful One, who has eyes that see all and a heart for you.

A Whisper of Hope

I see it clearly, My child…all that goes on, both in the past and in the future, and most urgently the very present age. You have nothing to fear, dear one, as long as you look up to Me, your Creator and Keeper. For as long as you put your life in My hands and trust the outcome to Me, you are safe—Safe from the death and destruction this world and all those who belong to it are headed for. You need only to look up into the heavens to find help and hope. I Am always home, always ready to save.

Colossians 2:7
Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all He has done. (NLT)

Ephesians 4:17, 18
Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. (NLT)

Psalm 121:3, 5
He who keeps you will not slumber. (NKJ)
The LORD is your Keeper. (NASB)
