Where Does Your Help Come From?
Day 303

"The Scripture that the Lord gave to me was Psalm 121: 'I looked to the hills from whence cometh my strength.' And that was my encouragement, and it was just a day-by-day matter of looking to the Lord and asking Him for what I needed," says Phyllis of her sister's death.

Phyllis actively lived out this psalm. She did not read it and walk away from it-she made it a part of her daily life. Choose a psalm that is special to you and live it!

Psalm 121 is a wonderful psalm to memorize and act on. This psalm expresses assurance in God's unfailing presence, protection, and help:

I will lift up my eyes to the hills-From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. (NKJV)

Amen.
