Psalm 123

Psalm 123 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  We have a choice about where we look.  We can look up to the Lord, focusing our attention on God.  Or we can look down, at ourselves, wondering why things aren't perfect in our lives, confused about where God is.  Where we fix our vision will determine much about our lives.
  If we choose to focus on ourselves, our quality of life will be determined by how we feel and what's happening to us.  When things go wrong, we can't look beyond ourselves, because we will shrink the world down to our size.
  If we focus on God, we see endless light and peace and love.  We see forgiveness, and we see a God reaching out to us in Jesus Christ.  We see his mercy, and we can be at peace.  We see his love, and we see God redirecting our vision to the needs of the world around us, causing us to be grateful and giving us a mission, a way to spend our lives loving others as we have been loved.
  It's your choice.

Let us fix our eyes upon the one who freely chooses to save.
