Honor God with Trust

Honor God with Trust

Psalm 123

English Standard Version (ESV)

A Song of Ascents.

123 

To you I lift up my eyes,
    O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

2 

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.

3 

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of contempt.

4 

Our soul has had more than enough
    of the scorn of those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of the proud. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+123&version=ESV

When we call upon the Lord with a request often times we get impatient, waiting for that request to be fulfilled.  Anyway that is what happens with me.  This Psalm, however, tells us how we should wait upon the Lord.

A good servant stands by and waits for the master to speak.  They may humbly approach their employer with a request but then they wait for the response.  In our society I see more and more of this not happening.  Employees don’t like what their boss says so they either ignore it or argue with them regarding it.  Students don’t like what their teacher says so they call their parents on them and it gets taken care of.  Children don’t like that their parents are going to make them wait so they whine until they get what they want.  When we pray and ask do we whine and throw a fit or do we wait patiently for the Master to give us direction?  I must say that I am the one that whines and pouts.  I have always been that way and it is time that I change.  Father, I pray that you will guide me to peace in you.  May I ever trust you and not doubt you.  May I wait upon you and your direction without whining or complaining.  Please forgive me for the times that I have doubted you or put my trust in others rather than you.  Guide me Father in the path that you would have for me and give me that peace that only comes from you.  I will honor and praise you with all my heart.  In Jesus precious name I pray, AMEN.

Seek Him and know that He is worthy of our trust.

Seeking Him with all my heart,
