Psalm 121

It took me about 1 minute to read this reminder of the source of my strength. All the fortresses and shelters of this world can provide us a limited amount of protection. Only God can provide 24X7X365 protection. That is the focus of this psalm. If we place our focus anywhere other than with God our hope is riding on paper thin assurances. Military strength will wane. Storehouses of provisions will rot or become infested with vermin. Wealth will loose its value. Possessions will be broken or stolen. Only God is stable all the time. Only God can strengthen us in every situation. When I look to that thing in this world where my greatest confidences lie I need the reminder of this psalm to look only to God.
