Where are My Eyes?

For my eyes are toward You, O YHWH, the Lord;
In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.

                       Psalm 141:8

How many times are my eyes on my circumstances, as Peter's were when he walked out on the water and then began to sink?  Where do I look for help when I am distressed?  Looking to the world; self-help books, TV personalities,  401K holdings, or looking within myself; mustering my own resources, following my heart, etc.. these ultimately prove to be fruitless.  On what do I dwell when I am overwhelmed by trouble?  

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."  YHWH is the source of all truth, honor, righteousness, purity, loveliness, and worth.  If I look to Him, and Him alone, I find help (Ps. 121:1-4).  Let's fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, so that we will endure, not lose heart, and find true refuge.  He will not leave us defenseless.
