Psalm 121 was the message today at Life Church. This was my understanding of it. In the good, the bad and the ugly parts of our lives we are never alone when we place our faith in Him.To God alone be all glory!
Psalm 121:1-8 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
Psalm of ascent was sang as the Israelites traveled to Jerusalem. Moving onward and upward our hope comes from the Lord. He watches over Israel as His covenant people and us as believers in His Son, Jesus Christ. God so loved the world that He gave us salvation in Jesus that through Him the world could be saved. No one loves you more than God…Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Carla
Psalm 122, a psalm of Zion, is the third song of ascent. This poem describes the joy of the pilgrim on arriving at Jerusalem to worship God. This is one of four songs of ascent attributed to David. The structure of the poem is as follows: (1) a description of the pilgrim’s joy in coming to Jerusalem (verses 1, 2); (2) a description of the beauty of Jerusalem (verses 3–5); (3) a prayer for the peace of Jerusalem (verses 6–9).
The words lift up my eyes dramatically picture a traveler approaching the city of Jerusalem. On first sight of the city walls and the temple, the singer asks rhetorically where help is to be found. The answer is the strong affirmation: My help comes from the Lord. The NKJV Study Bible
