My Help Comes From The Lord

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; 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.

Psalm 121:1-8

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” The Creator is not an aloof being, but a companion who is always with us, always awake to our circumstances. He guides and guards our journey through life. He does this forever.

Along life’s path, we need to keep our eyes fixed on God, our source of help. When we’re feeling overwhelmed and discouraged, it is alright for us to say aloud, “Look Up!”

Keep your eyes on God – your source of help.
