Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I look up toward the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Creator of heaven and earth!
3 May he not allow your foot to slip!
May your protector not sleep!
4 Look! Israel’s protector
does not sleep or slumber!
5 The LORD is your protector;
the LORD is the shade at your right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
or the moon by night.
7 The LORD will protect you from all harm;
he will protect your life.
8 The LORD will protect you in all you do,
now and forevermore.

So often our walk here on earth is one of fear and panic. We feel as though we are standing alone amongst the challenges of the day.
My day today started with a challenge and as I was preparing to head out to work through it. In my haste I knocked my bible off the table and it opened to Psalm 121. As I picked up the book my eyes fell to the last verse. "The LORD will protect you in all you do now and forevermore."
This stopped me and lead me to spend a few minutes in His word. Why is it so easy to forget that God is with us all the time? That He is our protector.
We still have to face the challenge but what a difference it makes when we realize we are not walking alone.
"The LORD is your protector;the LORD is the shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night."
God is everywhere!
Amen

I think we only forget when we take our eyes off of Him. Jesus said He would never leave nor forsake us.
For me, its not hard at all to not make a conscious effort of putting Him first, or beginning my day as I ought. Too often He becomes an afterthought and I lament because after all, He is far more!
