My Help

Spiritual Vitamin: "I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come? My help comes form 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 never slumber nor sleep." Psalm 121:1-3

Challenge: It's so easy to get our perspective on day to day life through our own lens. The Psalmist in Psalm 121 saw, however, his need to look to God. There was a "lifting up of his eyes." It seemed symbolic of lifting our minds from the here and now to a heavenly perspective. It was there He realized his help came from God. We too can depend upon God for help. What do you need his help on today? Will you trust Him to see you through?

Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for the Psalmist's perspective. He learned to lift his eyes to the hills. Somehow that "lifting of his eyes" helped him to see that his help was from You, O Lord. You, who are the Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth. You watched over the Psalmist and You watch over me. Thank you so much for this assurance and hope that we can have in your protection both day and night. Amen.
