Heaven Help Us
Scott Maze
Psalm 121
At no time in my lifetime have I witnessed such a widespread and long-term anxiety as we are in now. Our fear and anxiety have multiple layers to them like a tall cake - only this isn't sweet to the taste. We have the usual worries of how our children are doing and how to care for our grandparents. But added to the financial worries are a whole host of fear and anxieties. Now a virus arrives from the Wuhan, China that has stopped much of our personal lives.
We are dealing with Zoom and a host of video conferencing calls for work, school, and even church. The frustration is so high that our even some of elementary school children are crying (and not because of bullying). Rioting and protesting fill many of the streets of our larger cities. Worry and anxiety is off the charts in 2020. And we see it getting worse and worse and worse. We think, ''If it's this bad now, what will it be for my children and my grandchildren?'' Where do we turn? Where do we turn? We turn to God's Word.
We need the book of Psalms in times like these. The Psalms were sung on board the Mayflower as it came to the Colonies. A Psalm was the third book printed in America.
Each and every word of this psalm brings good news about God to those who need Him. Like hungry people getting a whiff from the kitchen - good things are coming! I've got some good things to tell you today. I can't wait to tell you about God's sleeping patterns but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Today's Scripture
A Song of Ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord ...
