"I will lift up my eyes to the hills (I will look up and beyond my own strength and wisdom)
From whence comes my help? (Why am I staring upwards? Just wait...)
My help comes from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth. "(Because when you look up, all you see is the vastness that is the sky, and you are reminded that the God who spoke THAT into being with one breath carefully planned and orchestrated you, and the problem that seemed so big a moment ago is nothing to Him.)
"He will not allow your foot to be moved; (when you stand on His promises He will uphold you.)
He who keeps you will not slumber
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither sleep nor slumber." (He's not going to be caught off guard by you or anyone else.)
"The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day
Nor the moon by night." (He will shelter you and ensure your safety, even if it doesn't look the way you expected it to.)
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul. (Circumstances may be dire, and your body may even take a hit, but the part of you that is eternal shall be eternally His.)
The Lord shall preserve your coming out and your going in,
From this time forth, and even forevermore."
I will lift up my eyes...

Just what I needed this evening. Thanks, Samantha.
Yea Sam! Yea God! ... Good Word
I was feeling really tired and worn before I read that!
Thank you both. It's wonderful to get feedback and know my writing is effective to some extent.
Samantha I think I want to print this off and frame it. You just shed new light on one of my favorite psalms! Thank you I really needed that. Love you.
