50 Days of Praise - Day 43: Psalm 121 (November 18) God Who Is There

I remember a terrible morning when I woke up to find that a young man in a previous church had committed suicide, but my phone was not working and the family couldn't get hold of me. They felt I wasn't there for them. The God of Heaven doesn't slumber or sleep. He's always there, our keeper, our protector. 

Today’s Reading -  Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord

Of course, God hears your private prayers and your praise, but there is a blessing that comes when you voice your praise for others to hear. "Extol the Lord." That's what the Bible says. The comments are open if you wish to give God praise and thanksgiving that might bless us all.
