There is a group of Psalms with title called,songs of degrees, written by David ,they are 120-134,they would be sung by pilgrims going up to the temple to worship. The best known one is Psalm 121,it commences with the writer lifting his eyes unto the hills,to the mighty God of creation who made the hills,the heavens and the earth.Think of creation ,the awesome power that brought it into being,and it is to the creator he lifts his eyes,and declares my help cometh from the Lord of creation.Who are you looking to for help? look to God,to bring you the help you need. In v 3 we are told that he not will permit our feet to be removed,we don't need to run to the hills,but to the one who made the hills,stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.In v3-4 we are reminded that God unlike us does not slumber or sleep, continually His eye is upon the righteous and His ears are opened unto their cry,continually.In v5 we see the Lord as our keeper,remember we are kept by the power of God through faith[1 Peter 1 v5] In v6,he writes of the natural creation that they could hurt us,illness famine sunstroke,God will not permit these to harm us.The last two verses speaks of God preserving our souls,and our going out and coming in,for evermore,not just yesterday,or today,but for evermore.
A prayer..../ Almighty God we look to You the God of creation and the God of our salvation,in Jesus name Amen /
