Morning by Morning, September 26, 2024 - “I Will Lift Up My Eyes to the Hills” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let the Light of Your Glory arise in my heart today. ... We’re blessed to live in what’s called “the Texas Hill Country” out west of Austin and northwest of San Antonio in a little community along the Pedernales River Valley called Fredericksburg. There are no mountains here, but there are hills and valleys. And they make for spectacular views at sunrise and sunset. This morning, I was just taking in the view and remembering Your Word of looking up to the hills, and personalizing it to myself: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow (my) foot to be moved; He who keeps (me) will not slumber. 4 Behold, He who keeps (me) Shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is (me) keeper; The Lord is (my) shade at (my) right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike (me) by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve (me) from all evil; He shall preserve (my) soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve (my) going out and (my) coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore” (Psalm 121:1-8). Yes, Lord. “I will lift up my eyes to the hills.” ... You are my Helper and my Keeper, the Maker of heaven and earth and in the middle of every moment of my day. I lift up my eyes to “the hills” which speak of Your Presence--high in the earth, high in my heart, high above all that would weigh me down or hold me back from all You’ve created me to be and all You have for me today. Your Spirit brings to mind another invitation from Your Word to look up to the hill of Your Presence: “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah” (Psalm 24:1-6). I seek Your face as I look up to Your hills this morning. Cleanse my hands and purify my heart. Let nothing but You be lifted up in my heart, as You are lifted up before me now and throughout the moments of my day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
