MORE THAN ENOUGH!
Ps 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the
LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot
to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the
LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee
by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee
from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy
going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Notice the upward focus! The eyes of the person of
faith are elevated above the clamor and calamity. There is calm in the hills of
help. There is consolation, comfort and cure! Whatsoever things are true,
honest, just, pure, lovely, and full of praise and worship, think on these
things. Our focus is important! How often do we magnify our problems and
minimize our help? He is more than adequate for any situation.
Notice the source of our help! Lest
we think the psalmist is seeking guidance from some zany guru on a hilltop, he
explains in verse two that his help comes from the Lord. Lest we remain
confused as to the identity of this “lord” he further identifies Him as the One
who made heaven and earth. Oh, that Lord is more than sufficient for our
problems. This Lord needs neither slumber nor rest. He is eternally vigilant on
our behalf. He is our keeper. He is our shamar (shaw-mar'), our guard
and protector.
Notice the details of His care! Even the Sun and Moon shall
not “smite” us! By day the glory of the Almighty shaded and led Israel through
the wilderness. By night the cloud became a pillar of fire to warm and to
brighten the night sky. Jesus noted that even the very hairs of our head are
numbered and known by the Lord. He pays attention to the minutiae of our lives.
Notice the extent of this care! Never flagging care is
promised to the one who looks to the Lord. The psalmist also asked: “Where can
I go from thy presence?” The answer is evident and sure. We can never run so
far that the Lord is not there. No trouble is too big for our God, even for
evermore.
Ps 121:8
The LORD shall preserve thy
going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for
evermore.
Dear Lord, I thank you for
being more than enough for my every need today. AMEN
