Keeping Your Eyes on the Lord

Reflecting on Psalms 28

By Tanja

Has this morning started with thanks to God? Can you begin to write down a list of simple things that you are grateful for now? It’s November now, and maybe it’s a great month to remember all the things we are thankful for, even amid a year with a pandemic. It will help to stop and count your blessings, because even if you’ve been through a tough time- there has to be something. Thankfulness and praise to God will help you turn your eyes off the things that bother and annoy you. It might even give you hope today.

Is your heart happy and joyful? Why not try, praising and thanking the Lord and focusing on Him, even singing your heart out, as that is voicing out your praise to God. You can shift and move the atmosphere in the supernatural with your voice.

The Psalmist says;

“My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him.” Psalms 28:7

It also says that the Lord is the One who gives strength. The Lord is like a shield and helps us. It says that their heart will trust in God. (Psalms 28:7) Could we remember this simple thing, that our strength comes from the Lord?

God is our rock and our faithful God.

He is the One who hears our cries in the middle of the night or whenever we come to Him. He is the most excellent helper and our best protector.

“Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.” Psalms 28:6 

What are you crying out for now? Are you crying out for mercy?

God does hear you, and He knows where you are!

    God sings over you

    My Lover and His Vineyard: Let me sing a song for the one I love, called “My Lover and His Vineyard”: My beloved planted a vineyard on a very fertile hill Isaiah 5:1 (TPT) God sang a love song over Israel, He told of His deep love for her and described her as a vineyard. Israel was not producing fruit anymore of justice and righteousness.[1] “Isaiah starts off like a singer entertaining people with a love song, which he says he has composed on behalf of a friend.”[2] The song turned into regretful emotions, where song words should just be scrunched up and tossed away. For as the song lines sang: “He fully expected it to bear good grapes, but instead it produced only worthless wild grapes.” Isaiah 5:2 (TPT) Adobe Stock Images The Song God Sings Over You Has God called you to bear fruit?
