Eyes On The Lord: Living In The Wisdom And Friendship Of God - Psalm 25:14-15 Series
Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 17, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: Psalm 25 is a psalm of trust and guidance. Here, David, the psalmist, is calling upon the Lord in a time of need. He seeks God’s direction and protection.
How often do we take our eyes off God and focus on our problems, fears, or uncertainties? Colossians 3:2 encourages us, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." By keeping our eyes on Jesus, we experience His rescue and deliverance in times of trouble.
Max Lucado writes, "God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile." Our journey might be filled with traps, but God is faithful to guide and deliver us.
Conclusion:
Psalm 25:14-15 invites us into a life of reverence, relationship, and reliance on God. When we fear the Lord, He draws near to us as a friend. He teaches us His covenant, revealing His promises and His will for our lives. And when we keep our eyes on Him, He delivers us from the dangers and traps that threaten to entangle us.
Are you living with your eyes fixed on God? Are you seeking His covenant promises and relying on His guidance?
Call to Action:
I encourage you today: seek that deeper friendship with God. Trust Him as your guide, your teacher, and your rescuer. Set your eyes on Him in all circumstances. As Hebrews 12:2 reminds us, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith."
If you’ve never made the decision to place your trust in Jesus, now is the time. He offers forgiveness, grace, and a life-transforming relationship with Him. If you’re ready to make that decision, I invite you to pray with me today. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, and enter into the covenant relationship that He offers.
