PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 123:1–4
As pilgrims walking toward the heavenly Jerusalem, we know who we are. We are servants following Jesus, who suffered and died on our behalf (Isa 53). We are servants waiting to hear the Lord’s Word so we can joyfully obey. The psalmist described our relationship with God using the metaphor of a maid looking to her mistress for directions and provisions. We are focused not on our own glory but on obeying the Lord’s Word. We are servants attending to the divine Word. Make Psalm 123 your prayer today, and ask the Lord to help you fix your eyes on Jesus (Heb 12:1−2).
