This psalm tells us that we are to pay close attention to the Lord. David uses the picture of a servant, or slave, waiting on and carefully watching the banquet table of his master to illustrate this truth. Whenever the master glances at the servant and gestures toward something, the good servant is watching and responds accordingly. But if the servant is looking around at others and not focusing on the master, he would miss the signs and not accomplished what he was intended to do.
Therefore, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus so as not to miss what He has in store for us today and every day.
The Truth: "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
