eyes on the boss

Psalm 123:1-4 (JDV)

Psalm 123:1 [A song of festival caravans.] I focus my eyes on you, the one enthroned in the sky.
Psalm 123:2 Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand, like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand, so our eyes are on Yahveh our God until he shows us favor.
Psalm 123:3 Show us favor, Yahveh, show us favor because we’ve had more than enough contempt.
Psalm 123:4 We’ve had more than enough derision from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.

eyes on the boss

Anyone who has ever had a boss, and depended on that boss, knows what this psalmist is getting at. He focuses his eyes on the LORD because the LORD holds his future in his hands. The LORD will decide what happens in his life. We can trust our boss. He has our best interest in mind. His plans will bring us restoration and eternal life.

LORD, we focus our eyes to you.
