Psalm 121
-Theme: Look to
the LORD for your help, the Maker of Heaven and earth. God guards His people from
danger and preserves their souls forever.
-Historical Insight: The is a “Song of Ascent” or “Pilgrim
Psalm” as the Hebrew people went to the Temple for the appointed feasts of the
Law of Moses. It has an anonymous author, but some have suggested Hezekiah as
the composer of this melody.
-*Application* Look to the LORD for your protection and
salvation in this world. Why? He is the Creator and Sustainer. Who else would
have this kind of authority over your existence? No one. Our help comes from
the LORD and anyone or anything else is a poor substitute. Acknowledge God in
all your ways and keep your eyes focused on Him in complete faith (Hebrews
12:1-2). He doesn’t sleep; He is your keeper and the preserver of your soul. He
will “guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever
(Psalm 121:8).” You have Someone looking out for you. Take hold of His amazing
gift and feel secure in Him.
