Look To Jesus

Psalms 121:1-2"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"

We look to Jesus in all circumstances of our life. It is in him we should look, in him we should trust, and to him we should we sacrifice in in times of uncertainties. The psalmist here says "I will lift up my eyes unto the hills".

Many are lifting our eyes to the hills and not to Jesus, looking to the elevated high places and the things we have elevated to the high places in our lives, when it is Jesus who saves. Why do we look to the hills, why do we say we are going to look to the hills, it is looking to the hills which has gotten most of us in the situations we find ourselves in today. Looking to the hills have taken our eyes off  God, and his purpose in our life. This causes us to stray to the left and to the right, as we begin chasing the lust and desires of our own hearts, no longer being led by the spirit of God. Sometimes God wants us to go through the valley of the shadow of death, but looking to the high places we sometime feel we are to good or to important to go through the gutters of life, even if it means to save a lost soul. Our vain thinking and need for variety sometimes returns us to the very world the gospel has called us out of, the world of darkness God has delivered us from. Looking to the hill can cause us to become selfish, seeking power, prestige, and popularity, instead of leading a lost soul to the salvation of the Lord. The psalmist says he "will lift up his eyes unto the hills", then he ask a question" from whence cometh my help"?  He goes on to say my "Help cometh from the Lord".

Truly the Lord is the salvation of the world. Our help comes from the Lord, it always comes from the Lord. So look to Jesus the Christ our ever present help from the lord.
