Who Is Our Help?

I lift up my eyes to the hills- from where will 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.
He who keeps Israel will 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, not 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 on and forevermore. -Psalm 121

Think about how unsettling and stressful it is to feel afraid….yet how comforting and peaceful it is to feel safe.

It’s like walking along a strange, dark street, all alone- and then noticing a police officer standing up ahead. You feel relieved, safer.

It’s like being at home, alone and hearing a strange noise outside- and then realizing it was a stray cat getting into your garbage can. You feel relieved, safer.

It’s like having an abnormal finding from your last doctor’s visit that requires ‘further testing’- and then finding out that it’s ‘nothing’ and everything is fine. You feel relieved, safer.

It’s like these things – but so much more.
Not only are we protected in this world – but in the next. Our souls are His and He will keep us safe forever.

It is so nice to know that we have, not just any protector, but THE protector.
The One who made the heaven and the earth.

He who keeps us will not slumber. God’s got our back!

-In Him
