[November 17~23]
This verse is a description of the entire relevance upon God. Just as the eyes of the servant are riveted on his master, so our eyes are up on to God and our knowledge of his countenance is gained. Spiritual leakage begins when we cease to lift up our eyes on to him. The leakage comes not so much through trouble on the outside as in the imagination, when we begin to say,” I expect I have been stretching myself a bit too much, Standing on tiptoe and trying to look like God instead of being an ordinary humble person.” We have to realize that no effort can be too high.
For instance, you Came to a crisis when you made a stand for God and had the witness of the spirit that all, but the weeks have gone by, and the years maybe, and you are slowly coming to the conclusion, “well, after all, was I not a bit too pretentious? Was I not taking a stand a bit too high?” You’re rational friends come and say don’t be a fool, “we knew when you talked about the spiritual awakening that it was a passing impulse, you can’t keep up The Strain, God does not expect you to.” And you say ” well, I suppose I was expecting too much.” It sounds humble to say it, but it means that reliance on God has gone and reliance on Warley’s opinion has come in period the danger is least, no longer relying on God, you ignore the lifting up of your eyes on to him. Only when God brings you a sudden halt, will you realize how you have been losing out. Whenever there is a leakage, remedy it immediately. Recognize that something has been coming between you and got, in getting, it readjusted at once.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look on to the hand of their master, so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God. Psalms 12:3 -2
