Day 194

Psalms 120-121, 123, 125-126.  “Look Around You”

         Today’s selection of psalms is one that I pray you can enjoy and find peace and encouragement in. They speak of why we can trust God, why we can praise Him, and why we can know He cares for us.
         I have always loved the way Psalm 121 begins, that if anyone questions where our help comes from, we can respond with, “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!”  You will not find any help better than that.
         This psalm reminds us that everything in the heavens and on the earth bears witness to the great Creator, God, our heavenly Father. We are also reminded in this psalm that His eyes are upon us. He is concerned about us and watches over us all the time. He is with us, through the ups and the downs of life. And His care for us will go on forever.
         Spend time today contemplating things you can praise and worship God for.
