January 21, 2019 – Psalm 121:1-2

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth! Psalm 121:1-2

Knowing how enormous, faithful, kind, and loving our God is the first giant leap to faith.  It takes a lifetime to fathom His true Greatness.

Everything in life that counts builds on trusting God and His plan for us and our lives.  When we know without a doubt God made Heaven and Earth, it is a beginning of Trust.  When we accept Jesus as the Son of God, and the only pathway to Eternal life with God, we take the second step into a life of Trust.

My Mother required me to learn these verses as a young girl.  I had no concept of a huge mountain. We climbed small red hills in Oklahoma. I wondered how anyone could go without sleep and never slumber.  Then we drove up Pike’s Peak.  The height of the climb frightened me, as I peered out the window of the car.

Then we reached the top.  The breathtaking view captured me.  Now I know  life is the same.  Knowledge and faith in God bring joy and peace to our hearts.  A good life and a good death are inseparably interwoven, inter-dependent, and mutually reinforcing.  We begin to see the panorama of things to come.

He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. Psalm 121:3-4.
