"My Eyes Are Fixed On YOU, O Sovereign LORD"

My eyes are always on the LORD!

(James Smith, "Comfort for Christians!")

"My eyes are always on the LORD!" 
Psalm 25:15

The LORD directs us to look 

to HIM for all that we need--

and look away from all that 

we fear and all that troubles us. 

Looking to man dishonors the LORD--

and ends in disappointment. Looking 

to ourselves fills us with gloom, 

sadness, doubts, and fears. 

It was wise, therefore, of the Psalmist 

to keep his eyes fixed steadily and 

habitually on the LORD.

Beloved! In all your sufferings, 

let your eyes be ever on the LORD. 

Look to HIM . . .

  for ease in pain,

  for strength in weakness,

  for comfort in sorrow,

  and for relief in distress. 

Keep your eye fixed on HIM as 

your FATHER and your GOD--

who has pledged in HIS Word 

to do you good.

Friends may fail you, relatives may 

neglect or be unkind to you, and those 

you love most may be unable to help you--

but look to the LORD! HE will never 

fail you or neglect you. HE will prove 

HIMSELF both able and willing to help you.

Let nothing divert your attention, 

then, from the LORD--

but carry everything to HIM and 

exercise implicit confidence in HIM.

Cast on HIM every care,

commit to HIM every work,

lay before HIM every difficulty.

You will prove that HE is not 

only able, but also willing to do 

"infinitely more than we might 
ask or think!" Ephesians 3:20.

Whenever satan tempts you, 

or guilty fears torment you--

turn your eyes to Calvary 

and see JESUS, your SAVIOR--

suffering, bleeding, and dying for you--

and so you will enjoy peace.

LORD, help me to look to YOU 

for all my direction in life, so that 

I might not be led astray by my 

deceitful heart. Let me praise YOU 

and bring glory to YOUR Name 

every moment of my life!

"My eyes are fixed on YOU, 
O Sovereign LORD" Psalm 141:8
