"Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You Who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us." Psalm 123:2

Like the servants of old, we too must keep our eyes upon God for clear direction in our service to Him. In the East, servants stand in profound silence with rapt attention in utmost readiness, waiting in stillness on their master, catching the slightest intimation of his will - a movement of the head, hand, fingers, eyes, or any motion that would indicate his pleasure. God's directions for us are less subtle; they are clearly defined in His eternally settled Word, the Bible. We must closely observe to do all God bids us do. He is a merciful God, and we joyfully serve at His pleasure.
