Eyes on the Most High

 Exodus 12-13; Psalms 21; Acts 1

“O Lord, the King rejoices in your strength…You have granted him the desires of his heart…He asked you for life, and you gave it to him…Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;…Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.”

Psalm 21:1, 2, 4-7

As David reflected on the blessings of God in his life, his gratitude, joy, and worship soared. 

When have we last stopped to remember all the goodness and gifts God has poured into our lives?

David celebrated God’s indwelling strength, his own intimacy with God, and God’s authority, glory, joy, security, identity, and deliverance from enemies. David found his strength in the Lord.

Can we say the same thing?

At the heart of this list of blessings is the strong trust David experienced in the unfailing love of the Most High. Above all earthly authority and heavenly authority is the Most High. When the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth loves us deeply and has called us to know him and serve on his team for his glory, life doesn’t get any better than that! If our lives feel a little shaky, let’s turn our eyes up to the Most High and his unfailing love for us, so we, like David, will not be shaken.

“Lord God Most High, thank you for all your blessings and gifts to me. My eyes are on you, for your glory.”
