Psalm 121

I look up to the mountains;
does my strength come from mountains?
No, my strength comes from God,
who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
He won’t let you stumble,
your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel’s
Guardian will never doze or sleep.
God’s your Guardian,
right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
sheltering you from moonstroke.
God guards you from every evil,
He guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
He guards you now, he guards you always. (Ps. 121 MSG)

We look up at our problems and they seem as huge and unconquerable as mountains. However, if we look beyond these mountains, we see God, who has power over everything. When we are facing insurmountable obstacles, we must redirect our focus, look past the problems and our inabilities, and look up to the One who is able to surpass any impediment.

 

Our Guardian God is dependable. He doesn’t fall asleep on the job. He doesn’t get tired or distracted. He has been there in the past. He will be there in the future.

Do not be afraid of tomorrow; for God is already there.~Author Unknown
