Looking To The Hills

Psalm 121 (NIV) - "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. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 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."


Help does come from the Lord! That's David's view of life expressed in Psalm 121. We are aware of God who never tires of being our Keeper. And we have the opportunity to express often, both to ourselves and to others, our faith in a God who is actually intervening in our affairs.

We need not live out our lives resigned to fatalism. Our thoughts don't have to be tainted by anything that smacks of a dead obliviousness to God's presence and action.

Let's put our faith actively and firmly in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Messiah is all that David pictures Him to be in Psalm 121, and He is even more.
