Psalms 121:1

Psalms 121:1 says, A Song of degrees.  This is also classified as a song of degrees, then verse one says, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  When we are having problems, or even when we aren't, we need to lift up our eyes to God, where our strength comes from.  Though David said he looked up to the hills, I believe his intention was to say that he looked up to God, Who Moses had met on the mountain.  Verse two adds, My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.  There can be no doubt Who David was referring to here.  David said his strength came from the Creator, the only true God, and so does ours as Christians today.  Verse three states, He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.  If we have put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord,  He will not allow us to be moved spiritually.   Verse four adds, Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.. Just as God did not not sleep then, He does not sleep today.  The God of Israel is still the same God we worship today.  Verse five declares, The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.  The LORD was David's keeper, and He is ours also if we put our faith in Him.  Verse six adds, The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.  There is never a time, day or night, that God does not protect Christians.  Verse seven continues, The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.  We often act as though we need to be afraid of the people who do not believe in or openly deny God, but we have God's promise that He will protect our soul if we are followers of Christ.  Verse eight concludes, The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.  God should preserve or guide all that we do from the time that we actually accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
