“I
lift up my eyes to the mountains -- where does my help come from? My
help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your
foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber … The Lord watches over you—the
Lord is your shade at your right hand the sun will not harm you by day, nor the
moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your
life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore”
(Selections from Psalm 121 NIV).
As David went up to worship God, he
remembered and reflected on the source of help for all the days of his life. He remembered the watchful eye of his Lord that
was upon him and the protective hand that was over his life. He gave praise to
his God as he went up to worship Him delighting in his Lord.
It is a wonderful thing that our Savior watches
over us and protects us each and every day. Greater still is the fact that He
has word to clear our confused hearts with truth and real hope. His tender attention, protective hand and
encouraging direction can help us with any situation facing us on the pathways
of life.
May
our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace
gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word (2
Thessalonians 2:16-17 NIV).
