Focused
Psalm 16:8
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8 NASB
David kept his eyes focused on the Lord. His thoughts and actions were continually guided and directed by God. God’s instruction, God’s will, God’s Word was the driving force that centered and compelled all that he did. God was at his right hand as his advocate and defender, his guide and counselor, his source of strength, and the sustainer of his life. Nothing would shake or move him for his foundation, his rock, his strength, his fortress and refuge, was the Lord Almighty.
Lord Jesus, even in the midst of the chaos of this world, may I keep my eyes, my heart, my life focused solely on You, my Rock, my Guide, and the Sustainer of my life.
