Directing my gaze toward God
- Defeats discouragement: God will fight the battles
- Overcomes fear: God is a refuge
- Worships God: He is truly worthy
- Renews the mind in meditating on God’s character
- Aids in holy living
- Tells my emotions where they start and end
- Prompts me to rigorous activity: I’m accountable to God
- Reminds me from whom I draw strength: God is my help
- Humbles me: all I have is from God and for God
- Sharpens my expectation for greater things to come
- Denies self; refines my desires and spiritual appetite
- Fills me with endurance
- Helps me love others more
