GOD'S MOST WANTED MEN AND WOMEN ARE THOSE WHO PRAY
Psalm 123: 1, 2
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou who dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the LORD our GOD, until He has mercy upon us.
A good servant watches for the instructions of the master, which are usually given by hand signs. They watch, because they love the master and want to please him; they want to make his life comfortable and pleasant.
The LORD JESUS has raised us up from the place of a servant to the place of a son or daughter, but the eager desire to please the Master is the same as the servant who eagerly serves his master. The desire comes from great love for the Master. It is love that brings us to the LORD to worship Him; to praise Him; to thank Him for His great kindness. It is love that brings men and women to their knees in humble adoration of JESUS and it is love that energizes us to read, study and inwardly digest the Holy Scripture.
The LORD desires and seeks men and women who pray and seek His face. He will bless and show mercy upon those who seek Him with their whole heart.
