I Can Look Up
Psalms 121
1 A Song of degrees.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
KJV
This is one of the most uplifting and encouraging Psalms that I read.
Have you ever in your life come to the place when your head was bowed in shame or discouragement and you
no longer wanted to raise it to see what was ahead of you. Because what you had seen so for was not worth
looking at for it offered no hope, no help and no way out of where you were at.
The Psalmist has good news for you. Look up one more time and this time you will see the Lord from which
comes your help. Help you have needed and waited on but for whatever reason you had not been able to see
the Lord to get that help. Now you can by faith see that help and that help will not allow you to slip any farther
backward or downward. Because that help comes from the creator of heaven and earth and He is not going to
be asleep on the job when you look up and need to see Him coming to your aid. This will be one of those times
that He will truly be your helper. He will help you do what you needed to do and failed to be able to do on your
own.
I like the fact that he says He is my keeper and when you or I are in His keeping that means by the blood of
Jesus we are worth keeping or we are keepers and if He keeps us then we are in His hand and there is nothing
or no one able to take us out of His hand. I mean they just don't want to mess with the hand of God. His name is
Jesus and He has a firm grip on us with His strong right hand.
He keeps me in the shade of his right hand or in perfect provision. The heat of life will not be too much for us
and the night holds no threat for us. He keeps us from every physical evil and keeps our mind, will and emotions
intact. Our mind will have his thoughts. Our will, will be in line with His will and that will put us over in life and our
emotions will be stable and we won't let them go off the deep end.
He has His eye on my coming and going in this life, day after day, night after night. He preserves me in such a
manner that what ever attacks me in my coming in and going out will have to deal with His preservation that He
preserves me with and that is Jesus and the Holy Ghost and this preservation is for eternity! Now, Now, Now,
Now and Forever.
So now lift up your head and see your help and don't let the devil keep you downcast any more and as you do
so recite
Psalms 3:3
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
KJV
It is yours today.
