I lift up my eyes.......




Psalm 121 (New International Version)

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Today, I'm not thinking of myself, yes, I have been looking to the Lord a lot lately for answers, help, strength, peace, etc. He has proven himself one more time! He certainly has watched over me and has been my "shade!" I started this post out of concern for so many who have picked up their burden today and are trying to carry it on your own! You feel alone, so you are trying your hardest to work it all out, remember, it is not yours to carry! Look to Him! He knows and cares! He created me down to the tiny mole on my right hand! Did He not bring me the perfect mate for my life? He knew the perfect timing for my two daughters to come into my life! Can He not watch over me now? He will not let me slip, I must hold on tight and let Him carry what is becoming too heavy for my weak self.
Many of you know me and think, she's talking about her burden, nope, He's carrying it today! I'm not saying that I might not try to take it back tomorrow, as we are all apt to do just that! But I talked to someone yesterday who told me they they were so bad about laying things out before God, only to pick them us again! We all do that! But those of you is great financial, physical, mental, and/or spiritual distress, lay them down, don't look back! Yes, the way may be dark today, but the sun will shine again!! Look for it, don't doubt it!!
