I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalm 121:1-8 (KJV)
Did you ever feel tense about a situation, or circumstance that pounded into your mind, lending way to “fear” or “anxiety?” I’m sure the answer is a resounding “YES” — because, we are, after all merely flesh…and all that flesh entails.
Yes, even those of us who are part of the “faith-filled” society are prone to it.
Anxiety, frustration, or becoming tense about something in our lives, that drives the anxiety even higher ,is all part of being human. But, it is these times in particular, that we need to clamp down on God’s promises, and His love, that is ever present, and lives within us, His Holy Spirit.
We are our own worst enemies when we get “mad” at ourselves for not being the “good Christian” for a way we might have acted, or a foolish thing we might have said. That’s when we have to realize that the LORD loves us no matter what, and will always be there…even during tenuous times, or times of trials and tribulations.
When we are at our weakest, that is when God is the strongest. (2 Corinthians 13:9 KJV)
When we are at our lowest, that is when God will lift us higher. (Job 5:11 KJV)
When we are walking through darkness, that is when God’s light will be the brightest. (John 1:5 KJV)
It’s so important to never give up on His love, irrespective of our circumstances. Don’t let the world and it’s ugliness pull you in, pummeling you with self doubt, and denial of God’s presence. He is all around us, He is in us. And He never will give up on us.
To those going through a rough patch right now, and who are feeling lost in the wilderness and frustrated, look to the heavens for you help, that’s where your help is.
For those struggling and hurting, look to the LORD as He will protect you during times of adversity.
For those feeling alone and abandoned, the LORD is with you always. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
And, finally…for those who are looking for the answers to what is happening in your life, or about to happen in your life…meditate on His Word. Let His perfect peace engulf you and surround you inside and out. Ask for His help in times of woe, and for His perfect peace and wisdom in all you undertake.
Remember, He is our refuge in times of trouble, He is our sanctuary where we can hide, and He is our everything in all things, today, tomorrow and always.
We can do all things through Christ which gives us strength to do so. (Philippians 4:13 KJV)
Trust in Him, fully, completely. (Proverbs 3:4-8 KJV)
Give yourself to Him freely, and wait on the LORD (Psalm 46:10 KJV)
He promises that He will never ever let you down…
