Genesis 40:1-23; Psalm 18:1-29; Matthew 23:1-39

When Joshua…lifted up his eyes and looked…behold, there stood a man over against him …and he said, …As captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship. Joshua 5:13-14

When Joshua “lifted up his eyes” he saw one prepared and ready to deliver God’s people. Lift up your eyes, dear fellow-believer. He is available to meet your particular need today. When He has, you, like Joshua, will bow low to worship your Deliverer.  —Arnot P. McIntee

Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
—Helen Howarth Lemmel
