God knows all, and he see’s all. Everything…the good, the bad..and the ugly. God’s desire for us is that we simply: B-E-L-I-E-V-E.
Psalm 121
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.

If you are walking on the mountain top…he’s there.
If you are walking in the valley….he’s there too!
God is FOREVER faithful…..rest in him!!

Psalms 121 is my absolute favorite. You should do Beth Moore's Stepping Up - best study I've ever done. You would love it.
ReplyDeleteOh precious friend, thank you, thank you for posting this today. My body is weary today and my spirit is downcast within me, though I know the Lord has not forsaken me.
ReplyDeleteHe has already given Psalm 121 to me today, and to have it reaffirmed here just assured me of His presence again.
Thank you for honoring His Word today, dear Kim. It ministered to my heart in a special way.
He truly is forever faithful and forever true!
