Slaves were totally reliant on their masters… ever watchful to receive orders, hear instructions, and/or obtain provisions. So it is with God and us…our eyes should remain rivetted on Him in total dependence for everything. For when we start letting our eyes slip, our Spiritual strength wanes. It can be because of pride or independence…thinking we know more than Him. Or it could happen when we are overwhelmed with stress, trauma, or loss. Lastly, we can also take our eyes off God through indifference, apathy, or depression when life itself seems too much to bear. But this Scripture exhorts us to remain steady…looking to God until He shows us His mercy and love.
