Psalm 121
Psalm 121 will sound familar to many because of verse 1. "Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." God is the Creator and our sustainer. God watches over each of us day and night. He watches over each of us forevermore. Read this short passage and experience the rich theology it embodies:
"I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."
The C&MA ascribes to a four-fold gospel message centered on Jesus. Jesus is our Savior, our Sanctifier, our Healer, and our coming King. Psalm 121 assures us that God is our Creator and Sustainer, that He cares for us eternally - the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. And everything in between!
