Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The Psalmsનમૂનો

Psalm 121:1-2 

I lift up my eyes to the mountains; whence will my help come? My help is from Yahweh, maker of heaven and earth.

You are my only source of help, Oh, God! As I depend on You alone, nothing can rock my stability. You continually keep watch over me. With vigilance, You guard me. Not for one moment do You stop protecting me! It is in Your readily available presence that I find safety and refreshment. You are with me at all times no matter where I go and You stay with me forever. 

Application: What or who are you looking to for help in this season?

In the OT, worshippers went to places set high upon the mountain tops to pray and sacrifice offerings to their idols. In stark contrast, the psalmist points to the One who created those very mountains (and everything else besides!) as the only true source of help. What are you finding helpful in persevering with God’s presence during this season? What do you see other people turning to?

Kids tip: Ask the kids to think of a time when something of theirs was broken. Pose the option to them of either asking an ant to fix the broken item, or the person who had actually made it. Discuss with them how God knows us best since He made us, and so He knows just how to help us. In what ways would they like to ask Him for help?
