Psalm 120
We may be greatly distressed by lying lips and
deceitful tongues, but we will find sufficient grace to endure if we
only look to Him.
Psalm 121
"He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber;"
God can be compared to our night light. It's always burning and never needs batteries or electricity.
Check out the 1965 Bible in Basic English Version for these two verses in Psalm 121.
Psa 121:7-8
The
Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your
soul. The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming
in, from this time and for ever.
This is the
assurance that all believers have. No matter where we are or what we
do, our eternal security is assured. No evil will endanger our
salvation. Nothing happens to us in this life that does not pass
through the hand of God first. Of course in the heavenly realm we will
be safe forever from every kind of evil. How comforting is it that
the Lord watches over us at all times and forever!
Psalm 140
Read
this psalm again and see how these words apply to us today both
literally and figuratively and physically and spiritually.
David
asks in this psalm for the Lord to protect him from men who plan to
trip his feet. Many people today want to catch Christians doing
something wrong so they can say, "Gotcha".
David suffered before
his reign and was humbled before he was exalted. As there were many who
valued him, so there were many who hated him.
Psalm 143
"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground."
He leads us on level ground. He will not let our foot slip. He watches over us.
"O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him?"
We are significant in our insignificance! This creator of the vast universe and beyond, the entire cosmos, cares enough about us to be our night light? AMAZING!
