A Song of Ascents.

O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
Psalm 123 is short and simple like 123
The title is “Prayer for the Lord’s Help
Yesterday we prayed for the Peace of Jerusalem and we learned that means praying for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven
Today are going to pray for the Lord’s Help
o You probably needs the Lord’s help today
o I need, we need, everyone needs the Lord’s help today
o On the way up the hill or up yonder to Jerusalem
o On the way to meet with the Lord is the idea
o So get ready to take the right steps
§ Remember the Lord is God Almighty
· Nothing is too big for Him or difficult for Him
· God is able
§ Remember that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son
· God loves you and paid dearly to restore you
· God has your best interest in mind
· God is willing
§ God is ready to listen to you
· God is ready to forgive you if you ask in Jesus name
· God is ready to bless you and answer your prayers in Jesus name
· God is ready look up and ask the King upon His thone!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
o This means those who work wait for their pay; their provision
o They look to their master (their employer)
o This is a house keeper / helper
o She looks to the hand of her mistress (the wife)
o Just like the workers wait for their pay
o Just like maids wait for their mistress to provide & reward them
o We look to the Lord in the same way
§ We wait for Him to provide to reward us
§ Do your best and try and please Him
· Your reward will be great
o Until means you are waiting until God does something
o You wait with expectation to receive.
o Until He is gracious to us
§ Gracious means that He gives generously.
§ More than was earned or deserved
§ To us (implies we are all waiting together not just some of us)
§ We need to understand that we are all codependent on the Lord
