God's Got you

I’m in the book of Psalms today…. Its a good reminder for the weekend, actually for any day of the week. 

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? 

2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.

4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

7  The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.

8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.” (Psalm 121 NLT2)

Something jumped out at me as I was reading this Psalm. Two somethings actually. 

Notice first of all, who is doing most of the work in this Psalm. 

Go ahead, read it again: 

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? 

2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.

4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

7  The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.

8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (emphasis mine)

The One who is doing most, if not all of the work, is The Lord! 

He is watching over you, He is keeping you from harm, He stands beside you, He will not let you stumble, He helps you. 

If the Lord does all of this, what, then, do we do?

We look up to the heavens, and recognize where our help comes from. Him. 

We receive His help. We receive His protection. We receive His Guidance. We receive HIM. 

Going in to the rest of your day/week/sleep/ know that God is doing all of this…. for you!!
