The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. (Psalm 121:7,8)
Love and Hope
What really lasts? My favorite shoes become hole-y. My favorite food does not stay fresh, even in the best refrigerator. My favorite tv show becomes repetitive and trite. My favorite electric drill wears out. My favorite Santa hat becomes stained and faded. My favorite uncle moved away. My favorite football game has a time limit.
The things I favor, and the things that favor me, do not last.
But God’s love is forevermore.
All of Psalm 121 speaks of God’s never-ending love. These promises of God’s presence in our lives are nothing more and nothing less than promises that God will love us tomorrow.
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
He will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. (Psalm 121 ESV)
Take the hope God grants us.
