Quiet Time 1/26
Good morning! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here because I’ve been doing a lot of my devotionals on paper but I wanted to share this psalm🙏🏼♥️
Psalm 121
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
This psalm resonated with me as I was listening to the Bible.
1st point: our help comes from the Lord! how encouraging is that? He is the one who aids us and watches over us constantly🫶
2nd point: He keeps us from all harm and watches over our life! That it’s not to say we won’t have hardships or suffering, no! It is clear in Gods word that we will suffer, but, He is here to watch over us!
I think back to just last night, I had a late night and I was driving home exhausted and with a headache. I was at a stop light that just turned green and hit accelerate with no thought, I braked though (to really no thought) and looked up just as a car was coming to me. It was a narrow miss. If God hadn’t been with me last night to protect me that would’ve been a head on collision. I thanked Him in shock bc of how much worse it could’ve been for me. Therefore:
PRACTICAL: in every instance (waking up in the morning, getting somewhere safely, having somewhere to end your day and sleep) THANK GOD! Thank Him! Because He kept you from harm and watched over you🙏🏼♥️
