WONDERFUL MEDITATION ON THE LORD

The psalmist waxes eloquent as he shifts his focus from the hills of Jerusalem to the Lord God Himself.

“The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.”
Psalm 121:5-8

A GREAT RENEWING OF FAITH IN GOD

The pilgrimages were designed to help Israel renew its faith in God. The psalmist shows us how the soul may be renewed in faith. The heart and mind will find wonderful renewal when the focus is on the Lord God as the great Keeper of our souls!
