Apr 25 Psalms 120-121, 140, 143-144 My Help Comes From the LORD

Let's focus on Psalm 121 and the bold proclamation of the psalmist - "my help comes from the LORD." God's protection is vigilant. God is close by. God stays by us. This psalm reminds us where our protection ultimately comes from.

Yes, a big army helps. Yes, a large police force helps. But as the Boston Marathon Bombers prove - those things can not completely protect us physically.

But we need to remember that we also need emotional, relational, and spiritual protection, too! Armies and police forces offer no help in these realms of our lives. The attacks in these areas can and do derail us.

Psalm 121 reminds us - "my help comes from the LORD." Let's remember that and pursue God's "shade."
