God Comforts and Protects

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills -
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip -
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you -
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

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

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm -
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

The Lord watches over us, eternally powerful and strong. Although at times it seems like we can not face a crisis or situation, God is always there with us. Much like the well-known poem "Footprints", during our times of greatest struggle, it has been God who carried us through.

Sometimes bad things happen in life, but never without reason. While we struggle through difficult times, we should place our faith in Him, that He reveals His will to us. Every minute of the day is a learning opportunity, and every opportunity leads to a stronger walk with God. Be not afraid.
