Need A Lift?
Good Morning!
Are you feeling a little low?
Sometimes the weight of the world presses in on us and we can find ourselves wallowing in discouragement. It is a natural feeling. Sometimes we just cannot help but get down. But here is a Psalm that should help us out:
Psalm 121 (English Standard Version)
My Help Comes from the LORD
A Song of Ascents.
1I 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.
3He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The 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.
7The LORD will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8The LORD will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
I think I have written on this Psalm before … but the message is too good to pass up. I believe that discouragement comes when we feel as though no one cares. But, as the Psalmist says, God does care. He pays attention to everything that goes on in each one of our lives. He has counted every second - and knows your heart. Just think – in the time that it has taken for you to read through this message, God has watched over you. Why? Because He loves you so much.
What a wonderful thought to begin the day with …
