Main Thought:
The Lord, king above all, is the almighty master. However, He always hears and answers us, never treating us like lowly servants, but indeed as beloved children.
Psalm 123
To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
Our soul has had more than enough
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, seated at the right hand of Your Father, a Lord over heaven and earth, restrain the enemies of Your Church, and uphold Your faithful followers. Let not the scorn of the world and the mockery of the proud cause us to fall away from You, but grant us courage to confess Your name unto our end, and cause the wicked to see Your power and the upright to see Your truth. Amen.
