Our Helper ( Psalm 121)

 There are 15 songs of  ascents,they were sung by the pilgrims as they travelled to Jerusalem,so let us consider Psalm 121. a firm favourite of many of Gods people.the first two verses  goes  '  I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? I come from Belfast and during the second world war,Belfast was bombed,before the bombers came a siren would sound , warning the people of an air raid,we lived of the Castlereagh Road,  which lead to the Castlereagh Hills,and to those hills our family and others would make their way for safety. Now the Paslmist  asks the question ,'where does my help come from?', the answer is very simple,'From the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth'. The universe,planet earth,did not just happen our great triune God made everything ,and He is our helper.Do you need help today ? look to your great God,say to yourself ,'My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth, that means that whatever help you need He will provide protection,provision, He will not fail you,we will fail Him,but He will not fail us,He has given us His word.Someone wrote the following.

                                                   'God keep me safe from harm and sin ,

                                                    Thy Spirit keep; the Lord  watch o'er

                                                    Thy going out,thy coming in,

                                                     From this time,evermore'.
