HAVE YOU LIFTED UP YOUR EYES TO HIM?

 Have You Lifted Up Your Eyes to Him? 

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Psalms 121:1-8 (KJV)

It is good to lift up your eyes unto the hills because the hills connote the dwelling place of God. In the Old Testament, God made the hills of Zion His dwelling place; therefore, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes towards the hills in prayer and worship. When they needed help from God, all they had to do was to lift up their eyes towards the hills of Zion. In the New Testament, the born again Christians are born into the presence of God so all they need to do is to lift up their eyes and hands towards heaven (1 Timothy 2:8). They don’t need to face any direction because Jesus Christ said a time was coming and now is when the true worshippers of God will worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). Your body as a child of God is the temple of God; therefore, worship God with your body and call on Jesus Christ any time you want, for He is ever ready to listen to you. Beloved, never allow anything to draw you away from asking for His help. He has given us access to come before His throne to receive all the assistance that we may need in life, so let us utilize this opportunity and be able to assist others as well (Hebrews 4:16). Hallelujah! Be prayerful!

Prayer Point: My faithful and gracious Father, thank You for Your presence in me, and for giving me access to come before Your throne for help. I have purpose in my heart to fellowship with You in prayer every day. Please let this prayer time be a moment to always look forward to because You are a God who answers prayer. Amen!
