We all would like to think that we know where we are going and how to get there.

But at every stage in life, we need divine direction. God has promised to guide us if we simply follow.

The fifth and final section of Psalms are referred to as Deuteronomy Psalms because they remind

us to keep returning to the truth of God's Word.

Join us as we study them with Scott Pauli today. I want to praise God today that the Lord is my helper,

that he is my keeper and my preserver.

Friend, if it wasn't for him, I'd be in a mess, and so would you. That's really the great

message of Psalm 121. It is the second song of degrees, and it goes like this. I will lift up

mine eyes under the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made

heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved

he that keepeth thee will not slumber behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep

the Lord is thy keeper the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand the sun shall not smite thee by day

nor the moon by night the Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.

He shall preserve thy soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even

forevermore.

What a beautiful Psalm.

Eight verses long and every bit of it is about how the Lord takes care of his own.

I'm a child of God, and I can testify with certainty, with personal experience, God takes care

of his children. In the first two verses, the emphasis is on his help. Aren't you glad he helps you?

Then in verse 3, verse 4, in verse 5, it's on his keeping.

So he uses that word repeatedly. He keeps us. He keeps us.
