Look to the Lord | Mark Becton | Grimké Chapel

Dr. Mark Becton preached from Psalm 123, calling students to lift their eyes above the distractions that quietly overwhelm them — fears, worthless masters, hopelessness, and the belittling voices both around and within. Becton reminded graduates and students alike that the same God who delivered his people then is the good Master they serve now. Once you have looked to the Lord and worshiped him, look again at all that once overwhelmed you — you will see it differently in the light of who he is and who you are in him. SKIP AHEAD.
