Psalm 121:1–8 (ESV)
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

As we travel on pilgrimage to the heavenly Jerusalem and consider the hurdles we face, it’s good to remember where our help comes from. It’s not by our might or power, but by the Spirit of God that we will prevail. The one who made all things by simply speaking them into being isn’t too proud to help us.

We won’t slip and fall beyond recovery with the help of God Almighty. He won’t let us stumble without picking us back up again. He doesn’t need to sleep so He’s always watching over us.

God doesn’t fall asleep on His job of watching over us. He keeps us safe and is like a shade from the burning sun. We don’t need to fear in the heat of the day or the chill of the night.

We pray in the Lord’s prayer for Him to deliver us from evil, and He does. He’ll keep our lives until it’s our time to go. Even death can’t snuff out our eternal life if we trust in Him.

It doesn’t matter if we’re coming or going. It doesn’t matter where we are, God looks after us. Our Maker is our sustainer, now and forevermore.

“O Lord our Maker, we’re so grateful for the fact You look after us. Please continue to do so both now and for eternity, for the glory of Your name, amen.”
