Psalm 121 - The Lord watches over you

We often find ourselves in situations where we wonder where our help is going to come from. The answer is that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The Lord is the creator of all things, seen and unseen. We were created to live in trust and fellowship with Him. Instead of living in rebellion we can live in harmony with the Creator.
One of the gifts of the Lord is that He grants us sleep and peace, yet He Himself does not sleep. He is continuously watching over us, taking care that our foot does not slip. As we all know we are prone to making mistakes. Now we should take reasonable steps to improve our performance and to avoid making mistakes, but we should not get neurotic about this. It is the Lord who is our security. Moreover, we can afford to have times of rest.
The Lord watches over us at all times. No matter what the time of day, the season of the year, the phase in life that we are going through. He is continually with us, providing our protection.
The Lord protects us from harm, He watches over all that we do. If we know the Lord we have a unique freedom. 
We should dwell on these things, for these fundamental truths can bring a stability and peace to our lives that will enable us to serve the Lord all the more effectively.
