Looking Always To The Lord (Psa. 121:1-2) (Part 4)

Conclusion:

1. When the travelers lifted up their eyes to the mountains and considered their Maker, those people were inspired by His presence, permanence and power.

• The anxious saw the mountains and were reminded that the Lord is near (Psa. 46:1).
• The exhausted saw the mountains and were reminded that the Lord is strong (Isa. 40:28).
• The overwhelmed saw the mountains and were reminded that the Lord is high (Psa. 61:2).
• The lowly saw the mountains and were reminded that the Lord is great (Psa. 48:1).
• The finite saw the mountains and were reminded that the Lord is eternal (Psa. 90:2).

2. Since any time is the right time to lift up your eyes to the Maker of the mountains, you should look to Him right now. You will be inspired, as were those travelers, that the Lord is near, strong, great, high, and eternal. When you look up to the Lord, you are asking His help to come down. When you look up to the Lord, you show dependence, humility, reverence, trust and expectation.

To Heaven I lift mine eye,
To Heaven, Jehovah's throne,
For there my Savior sits on high,
And there shall strength and aid supply
To all He calls His own.*

3. Whatever your situation is this morning, look to the Lord and be reminded that He is your answer. Psa. 16:8 > “I have set the LORD continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psa. 123:1 > “To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!”
