Psalm 121:1-2
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.
Application:
In Psalm 121, the psalmist considers the mountains of Israel, mighty towers of rock. These images of strength led him to ask, Where will my help come from? (121:1). He concludes that help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (121:2). Indeed, the greatest protection doesn’t come from the mountains—but from the one who created the mountains.*
In Psalm 121:3–4, the Lord is the Protector of his people (121:3). There is no safer place in the universe than being where God wants you to be. He cannot be defeated, and he does not slumber or sleep (121:4). In Psalm 121:5–8, the Lord is a shelter (121:5). He protects from all manner of evil, physical and spiritual. He guards his people from all harm, whether by day or night, whether they are coming or going (121:6–8). Submit yourself to God’s kingdom, then, and receive the blessings of his covenantal covering.*
As Paul wrote in Romans 8:28:
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
If we are God’s children, called according to His purposes and engaged in His Kingdom work, then the covenant promises are ours. Nothing surprises God about His children, and everything He allows in our lives makes us stronger and ultimately shapes us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).
