Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
What beautiful sentiments from David again. I’m continually amazed at how he managed to write so much marvellous, touching stuff with all the warring and womanizing he did. Anyway, I guess you’re wondering why I used the whole Psalm as Today’s Bit. Well, the Most High was at it again tonight. I came home late tonight, tired and miserable, but eventually sat down to find a Bit. While looking through a book with some Bible verses, my eyes fell on one from Psalm 121, and it looked interesting. So I opened the Bible and read it, and it seemed to have possibilities. However, before writing anything, I had to read some prayers for my aged mother, Molly. We have a set routine everyday; reading from a few Devotionals and the Bible. And the Lord help me if I skip or miss anything. Anyway, tonight, when we were almost finished, she unexpectedly asked me to read Psalm 121. I was a little taken aback, since she’s never before asked me to read anything outside of our set stuff. But, like the obedient son I am (smile) I began finding Psalm 121, thinking that something about it sounded familiar, just goes to show where my brain was. I’m sure you got it before me. It was the same Psalm I’d just finished reading and considering for the Bit. As usual, I had to chuckle at the sublime machinations of Our Wonderful Creator. Later on, I asked my mother why she wanted me to read that particular Psalm. She replied that it had always been one of her favourites, one she used to know by heart, but now she feared she was forgetting it. I could not argue with her reasoning. So, with all those obvious signs, I came down here to write the Bit. Originally, I’d planned to only use the first two verses, but when I tried doing that, I just never achieved the comfort level you usually do when something is right.. This kept me going back to read the Psalm, until my dim wits finally got the message: You’ve got to use the whole thing. So there you have it; in all its simple, truthful splendour! And this one’s for you Molls sugar. For all the LOVING-KINDNESS you’ve shown me over the years. Keep on lifting up your eyes to the hills, for that’s where your help comes from…The One and Only True Lord; Our God and Heavenly Father! Much LOVE Friends…And please, pretty please, let’s all do likewise. That’s the only way to success and salvation!
