Take Advice from God Who
Does Not Slumber or Sleep
Psalm 121:1-3, “A Song of degrees. 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.”
I am drawn
to the Psalmist’s words “I will lift up mine eyes…” I have been around several people in my life
time that did almost everything else when trouble came, but they did not lift
up their eyes. As a matter of fact they
seemed to be looking down most of the time, and when they weren’t looking down
they were looking around at others.
The
Psalmist, under Divine inspiration, teaches those that love and serve YHVH to
look up to the self-existent eternal God who is. Which way are you
looking? Do you have your eyes focused
unto the hills or are they focused on the muck and filth of this world. When trouble comes do you looking up where
your help comes from or are you looking at those who never say anything good
about anyone. Te psalmist said very
clearly, “My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth…” I suggest that you take advice from the only
sure source of help from God because, “He will not suffer thy foot to be
moved…”
Prayer for the Day
Lord I am coming to you with confidence because You do not
go to sleep while I am talking to You.
Thank You for promising that You will not allow Satan or anyone else to
move my foot or any part of me for that matter.
I am asking you to help me to look up at the hills that You have made
that are there as a reminder to all of your Christian musicians that real help
comes from You who created them. Help me
to realize that You have strength for me to meet whatever troubles may face me
today. I want to thank You in advance
that you will also take care of me tomorrow.
This I pray with confidence today.
Amen.

Watching over Israel” by Felix Mendelssohn
