Psalm 121: 1
1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
I will LOOK UP…towards the hills and beyond…LOOKING HEAVENWARD… Therein lies my ONLY HOPE! Almighty Jehovah-Rapha, YOU are my only hope for HEALING! YOU are my ONLY HOPE for any sort of strength today! YOU are my ONLY HOPE for "joy in the midst of pain"!
"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning (at the beginning of each new day) will I direct my prayer unto THEE, and will LOOK UP!" (Ps. 5:3)
Always LOOKING HEAVENWARD…Therein lies my ONLY HOPE!
"…I am poor and NEEDY; yet the LORD THINKETH UPON ME! Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God." (Ps. 40:17)
Yes, please do HURRY…make no tarrying, and come with Your "healing touch"!
You are THINKING about ME…even now. Me…Me?
When we anticipate taking a trip to see a loved one we haven't seen in a long while, we begin THINKING about them. Since You are THINKING about ME, does that mean that You are planning to come visit me with Your "healing touch"…SOON? Oh, what joy that brings to
my heart!
Yes…I will LOOK UP…towards the hills and beyond…LOOKING HEAVENWARD… to YOU…WAITING for You to come! And You have a PROMISE for me here:
"The Lord is good unto them that WAIT for him, to the soul that SEEKETH HIM. It is GOOD that a man should both HOPE and QUIETLY WAIT for the salvation of the LORD." (Lam 3:25-26)
Yes,…HEALING SHALL COME! Hallelujah! Amen!
In thinking about this verse, Lord, I am reminded of the many times I stood by my little Timothy's grave, and my eyes were turned towards the hills and upwards to the clouds and beyond…LOOKING HEAVENWARD..and my heart was turned towards YOU. My heart was
absolutely SICK and BROKEN, Lord, and I didn't see how HEALING could ever come, but Your HEALING LOVE has done its work. And so SHALL Your HEALING come in regards to this my illness, too! SOMEDAY it shall be but a faint memory! Hallelujah! Amen!
