Encouragement from Psalm 121

Psalm 121

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?

God wants to help us. All we need do is ask for His help. He is always watching over us. We should not worry.

2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

We can trust in the Lord. If He made the heavens and the earth; how much more will He take care of us?

3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.

If He watches over the grass of the field, and the birds of the air; how much more will the Lord guide and protect us?

4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

God is ever present, and does not sleep on the job.

5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

The Lord keeps us and protects us. We need not be discouraged.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.

Day or night, The Lord is always there. Reach out to him.

7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.

Rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Rest and take comfort in his protection.

8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.

As you walk in step with the Lord, be assured of his care and love from now till eternity.
