"I will lift up my eyes to the hills--from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
When the Old Testament church member looked upon the hills around Jerusalem, the one that especially caught the eye was Mt. Zion, on which was built the temple. Beholding this sight would raise the faithful saint's spiritual eyes even higher, to heaven itself, where God dwells in unapproachable light. The New Testament believer does the same thing. Having beheld with the eyes of faith the New Jerusalem [New Covenant church] having come down from heaven, (Rev. 3:12)--one then immediately raises the heart, prayers, and thoughts to the highest heaven, where Jesus is enthroned.
Do we need help today? Let us look us to Christ, by faith.
[Puritan quote of the day: "There is nothing within us that could justify, but something without us; not any righteousness inherent, but imputed. We may as well look for a star in the earth as for justifica-
tion in our own righteousness." --Thomas Watson, in, "A Body of Divinity"]
