The Grands Letter (GLJ)

Psalm 121:1-8, “I Will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From whence shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; 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 will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.
8 The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.”
“Help” is a universal word. It has been so since the beginning of time. It is expressed loudly and continuously in the hope that someone will respond and come to our rescue. Even those who
deny God and any help He might give, often cry out to Him in desperation as their last hopeful
source of deliverence.
What exactly David was experiencing when he penned this psalm, we do not know. What we are
told is that he believed in the LORD and viewed Him as his only true sourse of deliverence. God
created the Heavens and the Earth; therefore, who better to call upon when we are in need? He
is our protector, our preserver. He will not allow us to slip or stumble. What’s more, He never sleeps!
The LORD preserves our lives from all dangers. He is our ultimate protector against all things —
thngs that invade our minds and our lives with thoughts and activities that are contrary to His will.
Our cries for help are always heard. The LORD said to Jeremiah, “’Call to Me, and I will
answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jer. 33:3). So,
when you are in desperate need, make the LORD your first call. He always answers positively
to those who are His and are seeking to live as He directs.
We love and pray for you daily,
Nana & Dado III
