Psalm 121:1-2
1I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
2My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
There are few questions that invoke such a sense of despair as the first verse of Psalm 121. From where will my help come? Whether uttered in the dark soul of the night, all alone, or in a time of distress, we can probably all relate to a time when we've looked around for our help to come. We all know that our help comes from the Lord, but I love the way the psalmist not only immediately answers the question, pointing to God, but also acknowledges that God made heave and earth.
We struggle every day with the need for help. Some needs are small and pass quickly, others continue -- often longer than we would like them. But always we have the assurance that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
