Robertson: the source of comfort

Meditation:
I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
—Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)

Quotation:
The mistake we make is to look for a source of comfort in ourselves: self-contemplation, instead of gazing upon God. In other words, we look for comfort precisely where comfort never can be.
... Frederick W. Robertson (1816-1853), Sermons Preached at Trinity Chapel, Brighton, v. II, Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1859, p. 147 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, lift my eyes to You.
