“I will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the
LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he
that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither
slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right
hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD
shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall
preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for
evermore.” Psalm 121 (KJV)
Where is the source
of our help? It is amazing where people seek for help. Usually in places where
real help does not exist. Addicted with things that only destroy, but do not
help. Making excuses that offer no peace or calm.

make us afraid? When the Lord is on our side, we can shout with the joy of
assurance!

home. He is our help yesterday, today and forevermore!
