Read Psalm Chapters 120 and 121
Key Verses: Psalm 120:1 and 121:1-2, 8…
“Author is Anonymous, some suggest Hezekiah”
1 I took my troubles to the Lord;
I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.
2 Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
and from all deceitful people.
3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?
How will He increase your punishment?
4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows
and burned with glowing coals.
5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.
It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
6 I am tired of living
among people who hate peace.
7 I search for peace;
but when I speak of peace, they want war!
1 I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
3 He will not let You stumble;
the One who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, He who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.
5 The Lord Himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as Your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
7 The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
PRAYER:
As I come to You in prayer, I want to thank You, Lord, that when I cry out to You in my distress, my prayers are answered. My troubles are an inconvenience that I need to endure while on this earth. But I’m thrilled that it is You Lord who rescues me in my time of need. I could cry out to the world and ask for help, but what kind of help would that bring! Certainly not anything useful or anything I should indulge in. No, it is You, Lord who rescues me and I praise Your Name for Your faithfulness. When I find myself in a desolate situation it is the Lord, the one who created both heaven and earth that I pray to for help. The Lord, my Savior, will not let me stumble, He watches over me, even when I am sleeping! And because the Lord watches over me, He can protect me from every situation. Thank You, Lord, for watching over me and keeping me from harm. I know You will watch everything I do both now and forever. Amen.
