Psalm 121:1-2 (CB)

A Song of Ascents.

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.

This song expresses assurance and hope in God’s eternal protection, day and night. He not only made the hills but all of heaven and earth as well. We should never trust a lesser power than God himself or believe that answers to life’s deepest questions can be found in nature or this world’s wisdom. Not only is God all-powerful, but he also watches over us. He watches us like a sentinel or shepherd, alert to danger and ready to help with our needs. Nothing diverts or deters him. We are safe. Let us welcome God’s caring and untiring watch over our lives.
