Psalm 123:1-2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I lift up my eyes to You, to You who sit enthroned in heaven. \u00a0<\/sup>As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till He shows us His mercy.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever noticed individuals employed to do a certain job, but who failed to be observant of the undone tasks around them? I recall a man who had the position of custodian for a large organization. He was to insure that everything was kept neat and tidy. He failed miserably!<\/p>\n

It was not uncommon for this custodian to walk past wads of paper that someone had carelessly dropped to the floor. He was too busy trying to listen in on some conversation that he had no authorization to be involved with.<\/p>\n

On the other extreme, I have seen people who went out of their way to be sensitive to the needs of those they served. In fact, they saw to the needs of others who were not their superiors. They became a servant<\/em> of the Lord Jesus Christ and responded to needs around them, regardless of who should have been doing the work.<\/p>\n

A true servant of the Lord should always be keeping an eye open to see those who might have needs that the Master wants us to respond to. If we purpose to look, we will see things we have never seen before and will be doing the Master\u2019s will.\u00a0 What are you seeing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
