Today’s passage: Psalm 121
Helpful thoughts:
- As the pilgrim looked up in elevation toward Jerusalem, they could sing of the Lord our helper and keeper.
- The God who helps and keeps us is the God who created everything by His own power.
- The God who helps and keeps us is the God who never sleeps. He knows all things at all times for all time, and His desire and will is to help and keep His children forever.
Questions to consider:
- In what ways is this psalm humbling and also encouraging?
- What are other things or other people whom we may seek for help and protection? How do they compare to the Lord? Why can we tend to look elsewhere?
- How has God once and for all fulfilled the promise of verse 7? How has God kept us from the evil of our own hearts and secured our eternal life?
