I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore. --Psalm 121
What would I do and how would I cope if the Lord was not my help? Where would I look? Those thoughts really make me remember what depending on me and the help of the world was like. The thought makes me shudder. Whatever I went through, I went through without Him...lost and alone. The Lord God, my Creator and the Creator of the Universe is my Keeper now. His protection and care is over me as I journey through this world. I am never alone and nothing can separate me from His love. Looking at my journey through the eyes of faith, I am already at the finish line. I am a conqueror through Him who loves me. My destination is assured. The trials of this world may hurt but they cannot harm me. I am His and He preserves me!
His eyes are on me... He watches the path in which I walk and keeps me from stumbling. He guards and protects me....even while I slumber. I love that!
My God walks beside me! He is my shade. He shields me from harm. Whatever we go through here as we walk in obedience to Him, our God will use for our good and His glory. He turns the things we think evil into good. He brings beauty from ashes and transforms our suffering and our trials into joy. No matter what we go through our God's presence and covering goes with us! His care surrounds and encompasses us.
My God is concerned with my comings and goings. He is a God of the details of my life. I can cast all my daily cares upon Him because He cares for me. He guides me all day with His counsel and after all my days are complete, He will receive me in glory. My flesh and my heart fail but God is my strength and my portion forever! I love what Warren Wiersbe says..."Who can mind the journey when the road leads Home?"
Love
