My Help Comes From The Lord – Psalm 121:1-2

Where do you run to in your moment of need? 

Psalm 120-134 were songs that pilgrim Hebrews would sing as they ascended to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple. Let this song be an encouragement and reminder that our help and hope is found in the Lord. 

Psalm 121:1-2

1I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 

When troubles come we must lift our eyes to God. He is our help. He is our protection. He is the Creator of heaven and earth. 

Psalm 121:3-4

3He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber. 4Indeed, the Protector of Israel does not slumber or sleep. 

The Lord doesn’t take breaks nor is He weak. He is awake and actively involved in His creation. You don’t have to worry about God taking a nap and missing your time of need. 

Psalm 121:5-6

5The Lord protects you; the Lord is a shelter right by your side. 6The sun will not strike you by day or the moon by night. 

The Lord is your shelter that protects you from storms that rage around you. 

Psalm 121:7-8

7The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life. 8The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.

There is no expiration date to God’s protection. He is with you for the long-haul. 

Your hope is not misplaced when it is placed in Jesus.

God knows where you are at. God knows how you feel. God has not forgotten about you. You may feel alone, but remember that God is with you. Psalm 121 is a reminder that the Lord is our Protector and Deliverer. 

Live It: 

• Take a few minutes and thank God for His protection. 
• What storm is threatening your faith? How can you rely on God to be Protector and Deliverer?
