Psalm 121 (NKJV)
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
Truly the only One that can help and make a difference in the outcome, whatever it may be, is the LORD. He is the One that is in ultimate control. He is the One that fully can decide an alternate course of action, irrespective of the one that we think is right. He knows what is best for us, always!
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
He is available 24/7 and is never on vacation. He is there with us through all the good times and bad times. He is unmovable in His strength and determination when it comes to helping His children. He is the One that will “help” and He is the One who remains faithful. He knows what is best for us, always!
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
He will guide us through rough terrain and will not let us fall or be left clueless. He will not let us falter at the fork in the road. He will prevent us from the fires of hell when we adhere to His Word, and commandments, and accept His Son as our Savior. He knows what is best for us, always!
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
He is in full control of all. He is in full control of what will happen, and what He “ALLOWS” to happen. It is in His plan, His Word. He is at the helm, and He is in the driver’s seat. No one else. Just Him. He knows what is best for us, always!
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
He keeps us safe, and He is our Rock! He is the One that thinks of us as the “Apple of His eye” and won’t have any enemy destroy you. He allows things to transpire, but He can change anything whenever He wants, whenever He wants, and wherever He wants. He knows what is best for us, always!
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
He watches over us throughout the 24 hours of the day. He guides us in the daylight, and in the nighttime. He doesn’t lapse in His feelings, or His Word. It is solid, strong, and He thwarts our enemy at every turn. He knows what is best for us, always!
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
He wraps His arms around us as any loving Father would to His children. He is the Omnipotent and Powerful Being that formed us and created our souls. He defeated death, He is victorious over the grave, He is our Savior. He alone is in charge and owns our souls. He loves us! He knows what is best for us, always!
The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
Finally, as He watches, guides, directs, leads us each day of our lives, every step of the way. So too shall He protect us in the Eternity, forevermore. He is the keeper of our souls! He knows what is best for us, always!
Our rewards are waiting for us in the eternity. Christ our Redeemer promises such joy in Heaven, that anything here on earth cannot even come begin to come close to in comparison. We cannot possibly conceive or grasp what the reality will be when we are called home. Trust Him, knowing we will be called home one day, and He surely will welcome us with open arms. Until then, be comforted knowing that the LORD is with us always, and He will never leave us, nor forsake us. How’s that for an amazing God?
“Father, thank You for Your promises, Your eternal and faithful Word, and Your love and protection, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
