My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise.
My eyes fail
Isaiah 38:14 "I cried like a swift or thrush, I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!"
looking for your salvation
Psalm 119:81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
looking for your righteous promise
Psalm 119:82 My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, "When will you comfort me?"
Romans 6:19-23 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
