A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem .
I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches overIsrael
never slumbers or sleeps.
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over
never slumbers or sleeps.
The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
both now and forever.
It has been said that Psalm 121 was a song of blessing given
to someone embarking on a dangerous journey or a song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem .
In Christ we have come to Jerusalem ,
Christ has made his home with us. Christ
is not afar off, he is not residing in some distant land, not contactable by
telephone, he is right here, united with us in our spirit.
Every moment of every day he is joy in our hearts, the
reassurance of our salvation, and the peace inside, the excitement in our spirits.
Whether it is making dinner for our family, kicking a
football in the garden, baking a cake with the Kids or washing up the dirty
plates, He is there enabling us, encouraging us, loving us through in a torrent
of grace.
My help comes from
the lord – Christ is our place of refuge, our help, and our rest. Often we
look in every place possible than to the indwelling power of Christ inside us. He
is our father, who loves to give us all good things that he has made available
to us.
He watches over you
and does not sleep – When we are asleep he is still alive within us. His
spirit is the very power that surges through our veins.
He stands with us and
protects us – It is His delight to protect us and be there for us. He is
the quickening in our hearts, which brings peace, reassurance, joy and love.
The world batters and besieges us with its torment, discouragement and
lies. Christ is the exact opposite; he
is the rock on whom we can build the strong tower of grace.
He keeps us from
harm – All things work together for good, to those that are called according to
his purpose. In Christ every situation is a chance for him to work through us.
From the mundane task to the spectacular adventure. Whatever we are facing he
is right there, inside us, in the same power that raised Christ from the dead.
He is with us as we
come and go, now and forever. – Every moment of every day. Eternally united
to Christ, eternally redeemed, eternally sanctified, eternally free.
Today, mediate in the truth of God living, protecting,
guiding and working through you in everything you do. Let him permeate and overwhelm
you with His love.
