Psalm 121

I lift my eyes to the hills~
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip~
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you~
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm~
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and for evermore.
I love this psalm as it reassures me of God's love for me and He is always watching over me, protecting me, caring me, loving me...despite of my weaknesses.
He loves me for me.
Jesus loves us for who we are; for what is inside us.
If He were to love us based on our appearances, I guess many of us wouldn't have made the cut.
There may be a lot of pain and suffering in this world,
The injustice which no man could ever offer an explanation.
"Yeah...And where is this so called God when we need him...?"
He hears us....He emphatises with us....He knows....
In fact....He weeps with us.
You may not believe, but this is true~
Until you've tasted what is good and as sweet as honey,
You'll never let it go.
Everyone is the same before God.
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor,
Young or old,
Educated or uneducated.
God is faithful.
If He, who doesn't even spare His own Son (Jesus),
So that we have redemption through His blood and resurrection,
We can rest assure that He will be watching over us.
Waiting for us to return to Him.
"Follow me!"
I have taken take the leap of faith...of following this man called Jesus.
My Lord, My God, My Saviour,
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
in you I trust, O my God. (Ps. 25:1)
