Psalm 123 When we lift our eyes to The Lord, when we watch Him closely, to obey as carefully as a servant does his master or a maid her mistress, when " our eyes look to The Lord our God". ... what is it that we see?  Grace.   "Until He shall be gracious to us."   The prayer becomes a prayer for Grace.  "Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us".  Grace is the title of a book by Max Lucado.  It is a wonderful overview of the broadness of the grace of God.  Listen to the chapter titles:

The Grace-shaped life

The God Who stoops

O Sweet Exchange

You can rest now

Wet Feet

Grace on the Fringe

Coming clean with God

FearDethroned 

Unscrooged Hearts

Chosen Children

Heaven Guaranteed

Yes Grace brings us to Him, who sits on the throne in Heaven.  To all He is, to all He does, to the One Who loves to be gracious to us. Watch His hand. Ask for Him to be gracious and then watch until He scoops out grace for you. 

Thank You Gracious Father! I lift my eyes to You. 

Hebrews 10  Because Jesus opened a new way into the holy place, the place of God's presence, through His flesh and since He is our high priest, THEN we can :

draw near with sincere faith

have full assurance of faith

our hearts are sprinkled CLEAN

our bodies washed with pure water

to hold fast our unwavering hope

For He is faithful. 

Because this is true we need to encourage each other to love and do good. We must meet together to help and encourage one another.  For the day is drawing near!
