Chapter 3 Providence Psalm 121
Times of trouble are inevitable - we will need help.
p.37 A look to the 'hills' ends in disappointment - help comes from the Creator... not the creation.
p 38 "No literature is more realistic and honest in facing the harsh facts of life than the Bible."
p 39 The only serious mistake we can make as Christians is the one Psalm 121 prevents - the mistake of supposing that God's interest in us waxes and wanes in response to our spiritual temperature.
p. 40 "Psalm 121 says that the same faith that works in the big things works in the little things."
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
Ha! I had written Psalm 121 on my planner for my "verse of the day" yesterday! This is probably selfish, but so often as a mom and wife I feel like my days are full of helping everyone else and I think "who is going to help ME?!" - The LORD, Maker of heaven and Earth. That's who! Thanks for sharing.
