Behold the Eye of the Lord Is Upon Those Who Fear Him


“Behold the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.”

Psalm 33:18-22



There’s not much to this man. I am a little worn out today, and I assume it’s because I have trusted a little too much in my own name and not the holy name of the LORD. Ah, but when the Holy Spirit moves me to take heart in the holiness of the Lord, when He takes me by my failing bootstraps and shows me that it is in Him I find help and protection; then there is more to this man. Not because I have become more, but because I have become less. My LORD has infused my life with hope. My LORD has given me a faithfulness that is worthy of complete trust. There is now no condemnation since my hope and my all is in Him.
