I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. Psalm 121:1-8 ESV
Meditate. Protection.

| Hills around the Sea of Galilee Where does my help come from? |
The Lord will keep you from
evil—today and every day. Remember that precious verse in the Lord’s Prayer—“Deliver
us from evil”? God is providing that promise here. In Psalm 23 it states that
“I will fear no evil.” We don’t have to be afraid—God will protect us.
I like the idea that God will keep
our going out and coming in—forever. He has promised to always be with us.
Continue to claim that promise along with all these promises from Psalm 121.
Prayer
– Lord God, Thank You for Your wonderful promises and the grace and mercy that
You shower on our lives. We praise Your name forever.
Verse
of Salvation ~ Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name's sake! Psalm 79:9 ESV
