Psalm 120-121

“The LORD will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life” (121:7). The psalmist declared that this is God’s amazing promise to all who put their trust in him. Our help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth (121:2); his power is greater than the highest mountains, and he never sleeps, never ignores us (121:3-4). Although we experience trouble, grief, and conflict (Ps 120), God keeps us from “harm;” he will not allow evil to triumph over us.

“The Lord will watch over your going and coming” (121:8). As we put our lives in his hands, we can trust that God is beside us and working for good in every moment of our journeys.
