Psalm 121

 

If we were to go into a book store and look on the "Self Help" shelf we would find a plethora of books.  Sadly, I've never seen the Bible as one of them.  In today's Psalm we read that our help comes from the Lord, Maker of Heaven and Earth.  We can't help ourselves without seeking Him first. (Mark 6:33)    In reflecting over the past year, one of the areas that God has been chiseling away at in me is my realizing that while on this journey, our eyes need to be lifted and focused on Jesus.  His truths and examples from Scripture reveal His sovereignty and divine nature.  We also read in 1 John 2:26-27 that there might be those who try to lead us astray but that our anointing is real and The Holy Spirit will teach us about all things.  I'm sure we each are crying out to God for something.  The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer (1Peter 3:12) and as soon as you began to pray, an answer was given (Daniel (9:23). There is no other book out there that can help us.  As we end this year's reading I pray we all finish strong, knowing where our help truly comes from and remembering Whose birthday we are celebrating.   I pray for all of us that we lift our eyes and our hearts to our Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
