PSALM 121

PSALM 121

God is your Helper (1–2). The God who made the hills is the God who gives you help. He is a God of the hills and the valleys (1 Kings 20:23–30), and His help is available to all who will call upon Him.

God is your Keeper (3–8). The pilgrims traveled together for fellowship and safety because the roads were dangerous. The dangers in modern society are just as great, if not greater. But God goes before you (vv. 3–4) and stays awake to guide you and guard your path. He is next to you (v. 5) and over you (v. 6), and He will take you safely to Zion (vv. 7–8).

See His Greatness

Be sure you lift your eyes high enough so that you see by faith the great God who cares for you. The ten spies in Canaan did not look high enough: they saw the giants and the walls but not the Lord far above all (Num. 13:28–33). When things on earth seem too big for you to handle, lift your eyes to God by meditating on Isaiah 40 (note v. 26). He is able!
