If the outlook in your life is disturbing you, try the uplook. That’s what the psalmist did. “Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens” (v.1).

What does it mean to lift your eyes to the Lord? first, it means to acknowledge His sovereignty. We lift our eyes because He is higher than we are. Isaiah (6:1) focused his eyes on the throne of God and saw Him “high and lift it up” in the Temple. He is sovereign. He is the Master; we are the servants. He is the Creator; we are the creatures. He is the heavenly Father; we are the children.

Second, we admit His sufficient (v.2). We look to Him because of His sufficiency. Whatever we need, He is able to provide. “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil.4:19).

Third, we lift up our eyes to the Lord, we can accept His generosity. God is generous, the Giver of every good and perfect gift, (Matthew.7:11).

Acknowledge the sovereignty of God today. He is in control. Recognise His sufficiency. He can give you what you need for this day. Then accept His generosity. He enjoys giving to those who trust Him and glorify Him in all that they do.
