Psalm 121 - Be Encouraged!
Thought I'd encourage you all with the scripture that encouraged me in my lunch break.I've changed some words to Caps, so you won't miss what the Word of God is trying to say to you, and if you are His child, then you can stand on these promises!
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He WILL NOT let your foot slip—
he who WATCHES OVER YOU will not slumber;
(he's watching over you right now ... whatever things you are facing right now, know that the Maker of heaven and earth is watching and He will not slumber nor sleep)
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
(Take a look at your hand...God is over you like shade, Whatever situation you are facing. Questions you have, things you need to make decisions on, etc... He is right there with you, Your Shade, and HE WILL NOT LET YOUR FOOT SLIP! Cause he never takes his eyes off you...)
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
(During the day, at work, at school, at home, at night, in your darkest hour, wherever, whenever, he will not allow you to be harmed)
7 The LORD will keep you from ALL harm—
he will watch over your life;
( He WILL keep you from ALL harm, He WILL watch over your life - God is so cool, He doesn't just watch us, he watches over us. He doesn't just watch over us, he KEEPS us from ALL Harm)
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
(wherever you go, wherever you are, both NOW in your current situation, but not just now but FOREVER More, Praise God.)
Prayer:
Thank You Lord, for this promise. And thank you that you are a faithful God, and therefore when you say things, you mean it and you are faithful to do what you say... You require us put our faith in you as you show your faithfullness to us. And so today we say Yes, Lord, We believe and accept your word, we say that as your children we will look to you for help Lord, We begin to do that right now Lord, we look to you for help in any situation we find ourselves in Lord, and not just for big, bad things, but even in our daily choices... And as we look to You God, we thank you that you don't just look back to us, but you watch over us. You will not know what it means to us to know that you will not let our foot slip God. Lord you obviously wrote that because you care about us... Thank You Lord.
Lord I pray that you will encourage each of our spirits to reach out to you for that help, instead of giving into fear and drawing away. I pray that those who have not accepted you yet as Lord of their lives will. I pray that those who have will allow you more access in their lives. Not box you in or accept you in their own terms... Lord I pray that you will open our eyes to what you are doing in our lives and give us new dreams and vision, I pray that you will stir up a longing for more in every area of our lives but also that you will help us become faithful as we step out and do what you say...
Lord bless each one who reads this and their families, in the name of Jesus!
Amen.
