7-4-08 Psalm 121:1, 2 Your Help Comes From the Lord
Psalms 121:1, 2 (NAS)
(A Song of Ascents.)
I Will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From whence shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth
Psalms 121:1, 2 (NLT)
(A song for the ascent to Jerusalem.)
I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth!
You have probably heard it said that life is a journey and even the Bible affirms this idea. The descriptive phrase “A Song of Ascents” implies that you should sing as you travel on your way. The Lord wants His people to be happy and joyful as they go through their lives. Singing is an excellent way to maintain that joyful attitude, in spite of the circumstances and whatever comes up. It is also the Lord’s will that His people ascend throughout their lives. Ascending and growing should be normal. Excellence will lead to exaltation. And that exaltation comes from being continually in God’s presence, a place where He can bless you abundantly.
As you ascend and climb, you should walk with your head held high and your eyes lifted up. Your mental and spiritual faculties should be focused only on the Lord God and His will for your life. You are on your way to the mountain of God, your eternal dwelling place. There you receive help, succour, and support. You will be gathered into the presence of the Almighty and brought near His throne; there you will find all that you need.
Jehovah the Existing One is your Lord and Master. He is always strong, firm, and sure. He is the King of all the earth and His Word is law. He fashioned and made the universe, the sky, and the atmosphere. He laid out the earth and the seas, putting them in their proper order. Likewise He fashions and lays out your life, putting it into its own proper order. When something or someone comes to disturb that order, go quickly to the One from whom your help comes. He will put things right again.
